Quetzal Trail

One of the most scenic hikes in all Panama.

 

The best combination of good jungle hiking and observation of tropical wildlife.  Your guide will show you an incredible variety or rare or endemic fauna and flora. During this hike, your mission will be to spot a Resplendent Quetzal, the most mythic and colorful bird of the region. Hiking the 9.6 kms (total distance of 6 miles) of this path may take from 4 to 7 hours. Fluctuations in timing come from differences in hiking speeds, direction chosen to complete the hike (uphill or downhill), time spent contemplating the scenery and time invested “hunting down” one of the splendorous birds that gives its name to this path: the Resplendent Quetzal.

The Quetzal FULL Trail  access from Cerro Punta, transportation is included, guide and entrance fees.  From the ranger station in El Respingo. If you start the trail from Cerro Punta you go down hill and then hike up the remaining 2 km (1mile) “Hill of Lament” to reach the ranger station in Alto Chiquero. Transportation to get back to Boquete town is included.

The Quetzal HALF Trail Boquete Access:  Alto Chiquero ranger station. We walk the half trail to Mirador la Roca and after we come back. Within the first hour you could find some Quetzals still roosting along the trail. The amount of birds rapidly decreases after the first hour, mainly due to the progression of day but also because of the increase in altitude.
