A short tour focusing on the cloud forests and upper elevations of western Panama, with a range of hummingbirds, warblers, tanagers, finches, and quetzals not found on other Panama tours. 
Perched astride the Panama/Costa Rica border is a chain of volcanic mountains that host one of the most unique avifaunas in Central America. This short trip combines perfectly with a Central Panama tour, offering a plethora of distinctive bird species, attractive lodging, and a pleasantly cool mountain climate.
Of course, the true glamour bird here is the Resplendent Quetzal, and they are truly breathtaking. But what about Golden-browed Chlorophonia, Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher, Blue-throated Toucanet, Red-headed Barbet, Sulphur-winged Parakeet, White-throated Mountain-gem, Violet Sabrewing, Collared Redstart, and Flame-throated Warbler?
