Embark on an extraordinary birdwatching tour to El Mirador del Rey Tepepul and immerse yourself in the wonders of Guatemala’s natural paradise. We invite you to join us on a journey filled with breathtaking vistas, rare sightings, and unforgettable moments.

The highlight of our excursion is the opportunity to witness the majestic Quetzal, Guatemala’s national bird. With luck on our side, we may catch a glimpse of this extraordinary creature, whose presence is a testament to the pristine beauty of the natural world. Keep your eyes wide open as we explore the forest, for there’s a good chance of encountering other marvelous birds, including hummingbirds, migratory species, and the rich local fauna that call this place home.

Immerse yourself in the lush cloud forest, where panoramic views of the lake and volcanoes provide a stunning backdrop to our birdwatching adventure.

Join us at El Mirador del Rey Tepepul, where every moment is an invitation to be amazed by the beauty around us.

• Wear neutral-colored clothing to make birding easier. Avoid brightly colored clothing.
• Do not use perfumes or fragrances.
• The Quetzal sighting season is from January to April. During this season we have great opportunities to see them. From April to December we will walk in the forest and see different birds such as toucans, hummingbirds, among others, but there is not a great opportunity to see the Quetzal.
• This tour involves hiking surrounded by nature
• Bring extra water and energy snacks
• You have to stand in the back of a pickup truck with handholds during the trip to the preserve.
• Pack a layer for the cold early hours of the day. We advise wearing long pants because a plant along the trail is poison ivy.
