Butterfly houses in Belize are for ecotourists, but butterflies are insects, not hummingbirds or other tropical birds. Belize has several butterfly houses, but no nature centers or interpretive centers except tropical wings, which is geared toward ecotourists in the Cayo District. Maya ruins, butterflies, tourists, animals, birds, flowers, and nature trails combine for adventure travel in Belize. Our medicinal garden, hummingbirds, butterfly farm, butterfly house, nature trails, Maya ruins, and budget lodging make this the best nature center in Belize. And we're close to Xunantunich and Tikal, as well as susasusa and susasusa2.
