Panama Scouting - Day 21.5 - Cloud Forest Photos
Coffee plants in the cloud forest

Here are some photos that the tour guide for the Cloud Forest hike posted from Miguel's trip.  No resplendent quetzals seen, but that entices Miguel to take the official Quetzal Hike tour next time.  Mating season for quetzals starts in April, so we may have to wait a year for best viewing (or even finding, as they are notoriously shy).

An always camouflaged butterfly. The transparent wings ensure that his cover is never blown! 
A bold lily.
Yet another kind of heliconia

Another WOW of a flower!

The mist of the cloud forest makes for perfect rainbows, and often multiple rainbows are visible at once.

Can't you hardly wait to get to Panama to hike these exotic and tempting locations?

See you there!
