Guanacaste National Park, National park in Cayo District, Belize.
The 50-acre protected area contains multiple trails through tropical forests with diverse species of trees, including the tall guanacaste trees and Honduras mahogany.
The land became a Crown Reserve in 1973 and received its national park designation in 1990, with the Belize Audubon Society taking over management in 2004.
The park functions as an educational center where visitors learn about Belizean wildlife and environmental conservation through guided programs and exhibitions.
Located 50 miles west of Belize City along the Western Highway, the park welcomes visitors from 8 AM to 4:30 PM with an entry fee of 5 BZD for tourists.
Over one hundred bird species inhabit the park, including the black-headed trogon, red-lored amazon, and smoky-brown woodpecker, making it a prime birdwatching location.
