Lonely Planet review

The green iguana, which can grow to an impressive 1.8m (6ft), became threatened chiefly because hunters were killing the females for their eggs (a practice that's now illegal). This exhibit breeds iguanas with the aim of releasing them into the wild, and provides visitors with plenty of up-close contact and lessons on their ecological value.

Also at the San Ignacio Resort Hotel is a fascinating medicinal jungle tour on a trail through the neighboring forest. Learn about the medicinal properties of many Belizean plant species, and do some bird-watching while you're at it.
