    Tarrales Natural Reserve

    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.
