Fantastic spotting. I live in the Highlands of Chiapas and still haven't seen one in the wild!

Se llama Ranchitos del Quetzal! es en Purulha, Baja Verapaz!! no estoy segura si es antes o despues del Biotopo!! hay muchos mas quetzales que en el biotopo!! Mucha suerte si te animas a hacer el viaje!!
