The San Pedro Scoop came to Cayo to see the iguanas at the Green Iguana Conservation Project at the SIRH. They loved it, of course.
"Though you might not know it by just driving by, the San Ignacio Hotel Resort sits on quite a few acres of really beautiful jungle leading down to the Macal River. There are plenty of trails but you are going to want to get one of the hotel guides to lead you a 3 minute walk to the Green Iguana Project...
A very cool program initiated by the hotel to educate guests, Belizeans and especially children about this native animal and how they (especially the 'shes') need to be protected in the wild. Green iguanas are purely vegetarian (unlike the more common 'Wish Willys' on Ambergris Caye) and considered good eats in Belize…they are often referred to as 'Bamboo Chicken'."
