Fodor's Review:
The main attraction at this 8,530-foot-high perch is the resplendent quetzal, which swoops its famous tail feathers around the 106-acre cloud-forest reserve. The price of a room in a rustic A-frame cabin overlooking a misty valley includes a hearty breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a guided tour. Electric space heaters and hot-water bottles at the foot of your bed take the chill off at night, when the temperature can drop close to freezing. Day visitors can pay $6 to walk the reserve's 4-km (2 1/2-mi) El Robledal trail, which wends past gnarly 1,500-year-old cypress trees and 14-million-year-old marine fossils. You can also take a horseback ride past a sobering plane wreck to a waterfall.
