CLOUD FOREST |

 |
On the way up the mountain to the cloud forest, the climate change is the first thing you notice. The temperature is an average of 55۫۫۫F. Because of the high elevation, there is a thick fog that constantly lingers on the mountain top. The Lodge is made up of several tiny cabins and a Restaurant where the visitors can eat, hang out playing pool, or drink some coffee or hot chocolate sitting by the fire. We arrived to the cloud forest pretty late in the day. After getting settled in, some people went on their own little hike or just hung out waiting for dinner at the restaurant. The hike time in the evening is very limited because once the sun goes down it is pitch black so you better have a flash light. |

After dinner, we hung out for a little while longer
and called it a night around 10p.m. The next morning was our adventure to
see the great Quetzals.
The cabins were pretty simple for the most part. They were not heated, but we were supplied with plenty of blankets. There were about 4 beds to each cabin and a awesome shower... if you wanted to attempt getting electrocuted. |
