San Ignacio - Green Iguana Conservation Project

This Iguana hatchery is found on the grounds of the San Ignacio Resort Hotel, which is situated on a hilltop surrounded by 14mi/22km of rainforest. The grounds are home to 150 species of birds, various wildlife and 70 species of trees and plant life, earning the resort the nickname of the "only jungle in town". A 1mi/1.6km nature hike featuring labeled plants leads to the hatchery, which features nurturing and breeding enclosures, incubators and a display of several iguanas. A few resting stops along the trail offer attractive vistas of the area.
