A mere 20 minute drive from the town of Santiago, along a well-maintained road, you will discover the Rey Tepepul Nature Reserve showcasing an array of captivating bird species, especially the beautiful Quetzal. Nestled within a subtropic forest, birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts can see 3 volcanoes, San Pedro, Toliman and Atitlan, while exploring trails and waterfalls. We recommend hiring an experienced guide if seeing a quetzal is what you desire. Atitlán Expeditions.
