Parrots, Dean 2008 Journal New Panalito, Depto. Zacapa and a Volcan Quetzalteques Depto. Chiquimula, Guatemala Jan. 3 Yesterday, Ted and I arrived in Guatemala city at 08:00 to find that the bag with the prep kit hadn't made it on our flight. We met Carlos and Gustavo and drove to near his home, where we stayed at the Hotel Longara. We drove north along the Rio Hondo through Alder Parajuya and walked on a trail through good dry forest to an old dam with a cement wall. We walked along the wall for ~1hr and Carlos and Ted each got a Phyllodactylus tuberculosis (Ted saw another). On the way down, we saw a striped skunk. This morning, we got a fairly early start and drove out of Zacapa through La Tremontina towards Panalito, where we had been in May 2007. A cold front from the north brought rain, and we had to turn back just before the puente de Salud because of a very steep muddy stretch. We parked at the football field (after trying and failing to drive up) and walked up a road to a finca; got a B. Rufescens in a branchad along the way. We could only see pine forest, but a man on the finca told us that ~20 min away by car, just over the high ridge, is a big primary cloud forest with huge tree ferns. The road ends in this forest at Finca Bordicón, owned by Carlos Perez. We opened ~8 Bromeliads and Carlos found an adult B. calanti. We gave up here since we couldn't get to any good habitat and decided to drive to Volcan Quetzaltepeque. We drove to the town of Quetzaltepeque and took the old highway
