Horned Guan, an endangered bird

One of the most amazing bird in Guatemala is Horned Guan.  This cracid is restricted to highland in Southern Mexico and central Guatemala.

A best place to look for it is San Pedro Volcano Ecological Park, but you need to hike 4 hours to get a chance to see it.

The good news is that you can have 180 other bird species for birding during the quest.

A sample of the bird list:

  • Black-throated Jay
  • Black-capped Siskin
  • Blue-and-white Mockingbird
  • Blue-throated Motmot
  • Rufous Sabrewing
