Our location, an "edge" between river, woods, and agricultural land, makes it an ideal place to observe the flora and fauna of western Belize. The 40-year-old orchard of mango, coconut, crabu, avocado, and mamay on the site attracts a wide variety of fruit-eating birds, butterflies, and other wild life. Use our extensive collection of reference books and your powers of observation to help add to our growing list of birds, insects, lizards, other animals, and plants that we've identified on the grounds.

Stroll along our signed nature trails to learn more about tropical plants and their use by Ancient and contemporary Maya, and check out the ancient Maya temple on our grounds to see the daunting task archaeologists face in reconstructing ancient ruins.
