La Tigra



Visited Parque Nacional La Tigra on Friday afternoon, about 45 minutes outside the city. Took a guided hike to the top of a mountain. La Tigra is a cloud forest, and there were a few cool native plants. Giant ferns and fairy tale-sized trees. Tropical vines and thick layers of moss. There were also a bunch of avocado trees, which attract quetzals (who eat the unripe avocados). We heard them, but didn't see any. Also, despite the park's promising name, no tigers.
