EXHIBIT 31.1

     CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Ellen J. Talles, President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Quetzal Capital I,
Inc. (the "registrant") , certify that:

1.    I have reviewed this  quarterly  report on Form 10-QSB of the  registrant;
      for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005;

2.    Based on my knowledge,  this quarterly  report does not contain any untrue
      statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
      make the statements made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such
      statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
      this quarterly report;

3.    Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and other  financial
      information  included  in this  quarterly  report,  fairly  present in all
      material respects the financial condition,  results of operations and cash
      flows of the  registrant  as of, and for,  the periods  presented  in this
      quarterly report;

4.    I am responsible for for establishing and maintaining  disclosure controls
      and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
      and internal control over financial  reporting (as defined in Exchange Act
      Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

      a)    designed such  disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused such
            disclosure   controls  and  procedures  to  be  designed  under  our
            supervision,  to ensure that  material  information  relating to the
            registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known
            to us by others  within  those  entities,  particularly  during  the
            period in which this quarterly report is prepared;

      b)    designed such internal control over financial  reporting,  or caused
            such internal control over financial  reporting to be designed under
            our  supervision,  to provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the
            reliability of financial  reporting and the preparation of financial
            statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally
            accepted accounting principles;

      c)    evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure controls
            and  procedures   and  presented  in  this   quarterly   report  our
            conclusions about the  effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and
            procedures  as of the end of the period  covered  by this  quarterly
            report based on such evaluation; and

      d)    disclosed in this  quarterly  report any change in the  registrant's
            internal  control over financial  reporting that occurred during the
            registrant's   most  recent  fiscal   quarter  that  has  materially
            affected,   or  is  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  the
            registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.    I have disclosed,  based on my most recent  evaluation of internal control
      over  financial  reporting,  to the  registrant's  auditors  and the audit
      committee of  registrant's  board of directors (or persons  performing the
      equivalent functions):

      a)    all significant  deficiencies and material  weaknesses in the design
            or operation of internal control over financial  reporting which are
            reasonably  likely to adversely affect the  registrant's  ability to
            record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

      b)    any fraud,  whether or not  material,  that  involves  management or
            other  employees  who have a  significant  role in the  registrant's
            internal control over financial reporting.
