Gut angelegte Trails mit Kolibri Beobachtungs-Station.
We joined the Quetzal Tour starting at 5:30 AM. To participate in this tour at this time, we needed to rent a car and stay overnight at the Paraiso Quetzal Lodge.
For the first hour, we patiently waited, but the Quetzal didn't appear. However, we had plenty to do, such as admiring the mini avocados tree, which is the main food of the Quetzal, playing with the guide's dog, seeing many fly catchers, and we never got bored. Afterwards, we moved to a different location and walked a few minutes along a trail. Finally, we encountered the Quetzal!! I'm in awe of the guide's knowledge and their ability to quickly spot the Quetzal. The Quetzal that emerged in the midst of the great nature was truly beautiful, and its beauty was so mesmerizing that it made us lose track of time. On the way back, we visited a person who owned precious Quetzal feathers and they showed them to us. It was truly the best tour of my life.
The lodge where we stayed was equipped with sufficient facilities for cold weather and was very comfortable. During dinner, we were able to enjoy Casado, a traditional Costa Rican dish. The seasoning of the trout was extremely delicious. The hummingbirds we could see in front of the dining hall were breathtakingly beautiful. It is definitely a five-star place with no complaints.
We enjoyed the nice view in the room, the trails and the wildlife.
Food is okay but you dont have many options.
The room gets pretty cold at night.
I was a bit confused as to why the bird fruit feeder blind was off-limits (I guess it's private, but can't they just kick me out when it's needed? I only saw people in there once on my two night stay... maybe they're trying to preemptively prevent drama from having to ask guests to step out?), but that's a pretty minor complaint.
This was one of my favorite hotels/lodges I've ever stayed at anywhere. And, while I didn't have to do this since I was staying there, I'd say the day pass is totally worth it if you aren't staying overnight. If I ever make it back to this part of CR I will absolutely stay here again!
