GUANACASTE NAT. PARK
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.
