A day trip from our hotel in San Jose
Finca Mirador de Quetzales at approx. 8,000 ft elevation
Epiphytes are found on almost all trees in the rainforest
The road leading to the trail
Our guide has found a Resplendent Quetzal
See it just above center? This is the best my camera can do.
Binoculars afford a better view, but not a great picture.
But our guide (Carlos Serrano) had the right equipment on a prior walk
The view toward the Pacific.
At this elevation it is cold and damp. The trail is muddy and slippery.
Everything grows well in Costa Rica. Some form of heather.
Hummingbird feeders down the road at a wonderful resort called Savegre.
Back to our San Jose hotel for the night.
