Carambola Botanical Gardens

One of our favorite spots in the island, Carambola Gardens, is a paradise in itself. Decades of hard work and dedication have gone into these lush botanical gardens filled with exotic plants and beautiful animals like hummingbirds and Agouti rabbits. Carambola Botanical Gardens provide protection for iguanas at the iguana wall and natural breeding grounds for parrots. Have you ever seen the Cacao Tree before? The tree where chocolate comes from? There's hundreds of them at Carambola Botanical Gardens! You can also see the Honduran mahogany tree and the cannonball tree (You gotta check it out!)! At Carambola, bridges connect walkways that lead the visitor through areas of flowering plants, ferns, fruit and nut trees such as cashews, soursop and carambola (star fruit). Hardwoods include Spanish cedar, Ceak, Cordia, and Carreto. Among the natives you will find Hog Plum, Gumbo-limbo (the naked Indian/tourist tree), Trumpet tree, Teta, and Masica to name a few. The palm selection consists of Royal, Fishtail, Areca, Phoenix, Pindo, Fan Date, Chamaedorea, Veitchia and the Majestic Norfolk pine that command the gardens. Magnificent Royal Poincianas await you at the main entrance.
