GUANACASTE NATIONAL PARK
The Guanacaste National Park is a 52-acre protected area located roughly in the center of Belize. It is found at mile 47, at the intersection of the Western and Hummingbird Highways, or less than 2 miles from the national capital, Belmopan. The park was established as a Crown Reserve in 1973 and gained National Park status in 1990.
A tremendous range of plant life can be seen while on any of the 2 miles of well-maintained trails including one of Belize’s national symbols, the exotic Black Orchid, to the colossal Guanacaste (tubroos) tree. At an excess diameter of 6 feet the Guanacaste Tree found within the park is how the name came about.
To enhance your enjoyment, the park boasts an education center with a gift shop; a beautifully wooden observation deck overlooking the river, which is a refreshing swimming spot for any age and any swimming experience; and sheltered picnic areas.
