Description
Worshipped as a god. Its plumage was sought after like gold and precious stones. It is classified by numerous experts as one of the most beautiful birds in the world.
With an iridescent green and red body, yellow beak, and a multi-colored tail that can reach 65 cm in length, the Resplendent Quetzal never ceases to charm onlookers. That is the Resplendent Quetzal in a nutshell.
The Resplendent Quetzal is an endangered species. Only a few specimens are left in Mexico and Central America. However, there is a large population in Costa Rica thanks to forest protection efforts.
The prime time for Resplendent Quetzal watching in Costa Rica is mid-February to July–their mating season. During this period, the bay and avocado trees bear fruit–the Resplendent Quetzal’s favorites.
This protected area is 76.5 km from San José. Several flora and fauna species native to the Central American region are found here. In addition, this park is one of the top spots if you’re hoping to see exotic birds such as hummingbirds, trogons, tanagers, and Resplendent Quetzals. It is mostly visited during the first months of the year.
