The Quetzal

The quetzal bird is the national bird of Guatemala and a symbol on many things Guatemalan, from the flag to their currency.

Our team logo incorporates the quetzal flying above the Portland Headlight towards Guatemala. You can see an image of a Mayan pyramid within the outline of Guatemala. Thank you to Katie, one of the CE Safe Passage team members, for designing the 2013 team logo!

We'll be exchanging dollars to quetzales and there are about eight quetzales to a U.S. dollar. Can you spot the quetzal on this bill? 

Forty-eight hours from now and we'll be in Guatemala!
