Guanacaste National Park:
Guanacaste National Park is a fifty acre parcel of tropical
forest located on the north side of the Western Highway
at its junction with the Hummingbird Highway in the Cayo
District. The park is named for the giant guanacaste (tubroos)
tree growing near the southwestern edge of the park. In
addition to the guanacaste tree, there are numerous other
species of trees throughout the park.
Although the mammal population is rather small, over one
hundred species of birds have been identified within the
park.
Guanacaste Park offers a relaxing introduction to the tropical
forests of Belize because it is easily traversed, it has
well marked and maintained trails, and many of the trees
and plants have been identified with their own name tag.
