We loved out trip to Green Hills Butterfly Ranch

My husband and I visited Green Hills Butterfly Ranch on the way back from Mountain Pine Ridge Forest. We enjoyed exploring the largest live butterfly display in Belize. Equally, we LOVED birding at the ranch. Green Hills is an internationally recognized birding hotspot and it did not disappoint.

In my opinion, the hummingbirds are the star of the show. We saw at least 6 species of hummers during our visit. My only regret is not getting to the Ranch a bit earlier so we could have picnicked while birding!

Didn't expect to come visit but had my youngests with me while the older kids were riding horses across the road. Blown away.

I might've come out more impressed than my little ones. Price $20usd for adults, $10 for kids - but free at a certain age, not sure which.

Definitely worth it just for the conservation efforts this business is doing, and for the valuable jobs and school trip opportunities...
