The Masewal Forest Garden

_

_____The Masewal Forest Garden Trail is located in Bullet Tree Falls, Belize. The shaded walking trail allows visitors to learn about plants that were important to the Maya both long ago and in present times. Along the trail, the visitor will not only learn about the variety of uses of each plant but also about wildlife and the Maya themselves. Featured along the trail is an ancient maya quarry and a series of maya mounds, including a large temple which has been looted. Bush farmer Don Beto Cocom would happily tell you tales of his life experiences with these plants while giving the visitor a bit of culture as well. The trail was created in 1999 by a collaborative effort between Don Beto, Amigos de El Pilar, Raleigh International, and the BRASS/El Pilar Program.
