Day to explore and appreciate the magnificent biodiversity of the cloud forest. With some luck we may spot a variety of wildlife such as toucans, monkeys, tapirs or the resplendent quetzal. Huge tree ferns - up to 20 meters tall, the highest in all Central America – are typical for Cusuco and give the impression of being in a Jurassic world. From March to May one of the typical early morning sounds of Cusuco National Park is the monotonous call of the resplendent Quetzal, the mystic and holy bird of the Aztecs and Mayans. The charm of Cusuco does not only come from the nature, but also from the quiet and harmonic life in the 38 surround-ing coffee towns.
