Caves Branch Botanical Garden Tours
Belize Botanical Gardens
The Caves Branch Botanical Gardens were created in 2008 by Ella Baron and the Caves Branch Jungle Lodge to bring awareness to the general public about the beauty and importance of Belizean flora and fauna. Visitors to the garden have the opportunity to smell the lemongrass and all-spice leaves, see the coffee, cacao, papaya, and pineapple growing along the sides of the walkways through the gardens (at various times of the year).
All of the tours below are low intensity and appropriate for families of all ages. The Botanical Gardens are located just a few steps from the lodge. DOWNLOAD TOUR BROCHURE
