La Tigra National Park
🇭🇳 Honduras
🐹 Quetzal and Agouti Cloud ForestLa Tigra is cloud forest an hour above Tegucigalpa, close enough to visit in a morning and dense enough to hold highland wildlife. Central American agoutis feed along the trails on nine visits in ten, and resplendent quetzals are recorded on about a quarter.
