San Gerardo de Dota´s Signature Tour! This region is home to a large population of one of the most beautiful birds in the Americas, the Resplendent Quetzal. From the Trogoniade Family and sacred bird to the ancient indigenous cultures, Quetzals have a peaceful and tranquil living in the area and reside here year-round. The climate and good amount of food (Aguacatillo tree) provide a great habitat for these birds.
