Birding San Gerardo de Dota Without a Vehicle
In March, 2021, without a vehicle, I will be staying at Miriam's Quetzals/Cabins for two weeks and Paraiso Quetzal Lodge for three nights. I really want to get to know many of the fairly common species very well. Rarities will not be a focus of mine.
While at Miriam's I plan to do most of my birding on Miriam's trails.
Once I determine which species I might be missing experiencing there, I'll head down on day trip(s) by taxi to bird perhaps at Savegre Lodge, Suenos del Bosque, and or the waterfall trail. Savegre charges $10 a day for use of their trails and Suenos del Bosque charges around $7.00.
Except perhaps to hire a guide a Miriam's to go into the farm country to try to locate the resplendent quetzals, I do not plan on going out with any other guides.
Any suggestions of which trails in the valley sans car to utilize would be appreciated.
