Mr and Mrs Quetzal were not at home today, so we decided to go for a walk in the woods. I had found on the internet that a 6.2km trail called Los Robles ( the oaks) started from the next door lodge, Hotel Savegre.
We were a bit tired from yesterday's walking, so decided to take a shorter trail. However, somehow we missed the start of the shorter trail and ended up on Los Robles in any case.
We decided we would continue, and eventually climbed from 7000 feet above sea level to about 8000 feet. We were walking through oak forest with an understory of bamboo, palms and occasional tree ferns. We also came across the centenary oak. A title bestowed by the well known Institute of Biodiversity and an obvious source of pride.
Christine is a well known weightlifter and achieved a personal best lift on this trail.
Eventually we returned to our chalet after an 11km walk, mostly in dappled sunlight. We decided to sneak up on the quetzals on water, but they were still not at home.
