Spend a day out in nature on this private tour from Antigua to the Atitlan area. You’ll visit Los Tarrales Natural Reserve, with its network of trails and its dense flora, where you’ll take a birding tour with a local guide. This will be followed by lunch (at your expense) in the Mayan Village of San Lucas Toliman, a great place for shopping for souvenirs.
Stop At: Tarrales Natural Reserve, Km 164.2 of National Route 11 or CA 2, San Lucas Toliman 07013 Guatemala
The protected area starts at 700 meters high and extends to 3,000 meters above sea level. Los Tarrales is a very important area for wildlife conservation in Guatemala. Because hunting is not allowed in Los Tarrales, it is easy to see animals such as white-tailed deer, Agouti, White-bellied Chachalaca and Crested Guan. Besides, signs of Puma droppings and scratches are frequently observed. For those who love bird watching, the list of birds on a morning walk is simply extensive. Here´s some, black-headed saltator, Yellow-winged Tanager, Blue-gray Tanager, Yellow-naped parrot, several types of parekeets, Cinnamon Hummingbirds, orioles and more. The well trained local guides at Los Tarrales will help you to observe all the birds possible.
