Have you seen a Resplendent Quetzal on the "Land of The Quetzal"? A Horned Guan? Or maybe a Pink-headed Warbler?
A Bushy-crested Jay sounds interesting? How would you feel with a Cabanis' Tanager, a Black-capped Swallow, a Belted Flycatcher,
a Black Penelopina or an Ocellated Turkey on your records? Any of the 7 species of Motmots that we have around the country
would be a good reward for your senses?
Birdwatching in Guatemala offers those who are getting introduced into this fascinating activity, and those who are experienced
birders a very memorable Time. More than 700 species await to be spotted! Our Birdwatching programs are being operated on
a private-departure basis; just you, your family and your friends together to enjoy all the birds our country has to offer.

Guatemala is a very small and diverse country, which gives us the chance to cover the most important habitats avoiding long
hours seated on a vehicle just by moving from one place to another. It is so easy as passing from a Dry to a Cloud Forest
in less than 2 hours. Or descending from the Mountain Forest to the Mangroves, passing through the Highland Humid Subtropical
Forest and the Tropical Humid Savannah in just one day. Of course, the Tropical Rain Forests and the Tropical Humid Forests
are a must and here is where we will spot more birds in less time, since all the Amazonian influence can be enjoyed here.

destination in Latin America. Below will you find some proposed itineraries, which will help you plan your next holiday. Just
