The Quetzales Trail Panama connects the town of Boquete to the town of Cerro Punta along the edge of the Baru Volcano, the highest mountain in Panama at 11,398 feet. The trail cuts through the cloud forest along the Talamanca mountain range. The trail rises from a deep valley through gigantic ancient oaks, magnolias and cedars to a height of 6000 feet along a ridge with incredible views. Ferns, flowers and mosses and water are everywhere. It is one of the best birding trails in all of Central America.

beautiful Jim – great that you're there.
thank you!
Realmente, una experiencia impresionante, exelente fotógrafo! Exelente fotos……
Thank you and…really…it was even better because I got to experience it with you.
here you go Marsha Kellogg.
Wow, nice shots & blog. Spectacular rainbow shot.most people want to go wide-angle on rainbows, but when you have so much color saturation it is perfect for a narrow view.
Jess, I will put up some of the wider shots from that rainbow in the coming weeks. Even at the time I was taking the shots I was struck by the intensity of the color. When I looked through the shots on the computer I was stunned at how saturated the colors were even in the closeups – which is why I chose this one.
Amaizing pictures, exelente experience!
Jim, Nice pictures. Thank you for your visit.
Gracias a ti!
ah yes, spectacular, just lovely, really…
Thank you Kiva. The trail was amazing. I could not believe it….a bit challenging too. We did 10km – much of it straight up – and I was dead.
We did not do the Quetzal Trail when we were in Boquete as part of our Trans-Americas Journey, but we did see spectacular Resplendent Quetzal birds on the trails around the Finca Lerida hotel in Boquete. Our third sighting of these elusive birds in two different countries!
Beautiful photos Jim!
Nice shots mate.
