The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park offers visitors a short walk
through wetlands, swamps, dry thicket, mahogany trees, orchids,
and bromeliads. The trail is 1km (.6 mile) long. On your walk through
the park you will see chickatees, which are freshwater turtles found
only on the Caymans and in Cuba. If you get lucky you might even
run into the rare Grand Cayman parrot, or perhaps the anole lizard,
with its cobalt-blue throat pouch. A rare breed of an endangered
blue iguana lives at the park, but good luck trying to find it.
There's a visitor center with changing exhibitions, plus a canteen
for food and refreshments.
