Other possible sightings include Scarlet-thighed Dacnis, Red-faced Spinetail, Olivaceous Woodcreepr, and the nearly endemic Fiery-billed Aracari.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn the afternoon, we will drive over the other side of the majestic Bar\u00fa Volcano to the <strong>Dos Rios Hotel<\/strong> in the quaint town of Volcan, where we will be surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation at an altitude of approx. 5,000 ft. above sea level. This beautiful property, conveniently located within the heart of the Chiriqu\u00ed mountains, provides easy access to the birding hot spots we will explore over the next few days. The nearby gardens are home to some gorgeous flowers and butterflies, along with a variety of birds. Keep your eyes peeled for Flame-colored Tanager, Rufous-collared Sparrow, and Elegant Euphonia!\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHotel website: <a href=\"\/en\/www.dosrios.com.pa\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.dosrios.com.pa<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTelephone: 011-507-771-5555\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-4873-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-4873-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-4873-3\" style=\"padding: 50px 0; \" id=\"D3\" data-stretch-type=\"full-stretched-padded\" data-overlay=\"true\" data-overlay-color=\"#000000\" ><div id=\"pgc-4873-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><div id=\"pgc-4873-3-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-4873-3-1-0\" class=\"widget_text so-panel widget widget_custom_html panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div style=\"text-align: left;\" data-title-color=\"#443f3f\" data-headings-color=\"#000000\" class=\"widget_text panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-4873-3-1-0\" ><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><h1>\n\tDay 3: La Amistad International Park\n<\/h1>\n<p>\n\tBreakfast will find us in La Amistad International Park, an area which is jointly protected by Panama and Costa Rica. Endemism is high in this Important Bird Area (IBA) and we will have a good chance to see many birds that are restricted to the Talamanca Range. While some of these birds are relatively drab, such as the Dark Pewee or Yellowish Flycatcher, this area also hosts some of the gaudiest birds in the world, including myriad hummingbirds and brightly colored tanagers, Emerald (Blue-throated) Toucanet, Spangled-cheeked Tanager, Golden-browed Chlorophonia, and the gorgeous Resplendent Quetzal.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWe will have lunch at a restaurant operated by a local women\u2019s cooperative within the park, where we will taste some great\nlocal flavors while on the lookout for passing mixed species flocks that could contain many of specialties we may have missed at this point or other species like Ruddy Treerunner, Buffy Tufted Cheek, Prong-billed Barbet and more.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLater, we will stop at some nearby hummingbird feeders where more than a dozen species may be present \u2013 including White-throated Mountain-gem, Talamanca Hummingbird, Violet Saberwing, Snowy-bellied hummingbird, the tiny Scintillant Hummingbird, and maybe even a Fiery-throated Hummingbird.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-4873-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-4873-4\" style=\"padding: 50px 0; \" id=\"D4\" data-stretch-type=\"full-stretched-padded\" data-overlay=\"true\" data-overlay-color=\"#000000\" ><div id=\"pgc-4873-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-mobile-last\" ><div id=\"panel-4873-4-0-0\" class=\"widget_text so-panel widget widget_custom_html panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div style=\"text-align: left;\" data-title-color=\"#443f3f\" data-headings-color=\"#000000\" class=\"widget_text panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-4873-4-0-0\" ><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><h1>\n\tDay 4: Highlands of the Bar\u00fa Volcano National Park\n<\/h1>\n<p>\n\tEarly today we will explore the forests along the Los Quetzales Trail within Bar\u00fa Volcano National Park.

In the cloud forest we may spot Buffy Tufted-cheek, Spangle-cheeked Tanager, Sooty-capped Bush-tanager, Long-tailed Silky-Flycatcher, and Large-footed Finch. Flowering bushes along the trail may yield White-throated Mountain-gem as well as other regional endemics like Stripe-tailed and Volcano Hummingbirds.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTime permitting, we may take a tour of the nearby Dracula Orchid Farm. Here we will we enjoy the sight of more than 2,000 different species of these colorful flowers while keeping our eyes open for Silver-throated Tanager, Black-faced Solitaire, and Slaty Flower-piercer.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-4873-4-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-4873-5\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-4873-5\" style=\"padding: 50px 0; \" id=\"D5\" data-stretch-type=\"full-stretched-padded\" data-overlay=\"true\" data-overlay-color=\"#000000\" ><div id=\"pgc-4873-5-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><div id=\"pgc-4873-5-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-4873-5-1-0\" class=\"widget_text so-panel widget widget_custom_html panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div style=\"text-align: left;\" data-title-color=\"#443f3f\" data-headings-color=\"#000000\" class=\"widget_text panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-4873-5-1-0\" ><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><h1>\n\tDay 3: La Amistad International Park\n<\/h1>\n<p>\n\tBreakfast will find us in La Amistad International Park, an area which is jointly protected by Panama and Costa Rica.
