I start with the harder of the two paths, the Mastic Trail, named after a particular type of tree for the manufacture of masts of ships used. It's off Frank Sound Road, just south of the QE II Botanic Park, but on the opposite side of the road. It is probably 30 minutes drive from George Town and West End.
This is a true trail be sure that you wear proper footwear if you plan to go too far. It is not necessary to hike the entire route, you can build a good feel for how the island was obtainedbefore people go back to modeling only a mile. Unfortunately it is not a circular route so you have to-trace your steps when you just want to try.
When you do the entire route, walking from Frank Sound Road to the south for more Road to the north, you'll see a swampy mangrove forest, a rocky area full of crevices, from which trees and plants sprouting up like mushrooms, a dry tropical forest area The remains of the pioneer William Watles's orchards,and finally, a subtropical meadow - the Savannah.
William Watles was the settlers who have built the original road in front of over a hundred years, its products on the market, and although it has since been replaced by Frank Sound Road,'s performance more impressive. It's wild country than you would from a small island and expect the underlying ironshore is as hard as ... well, iron. Leveling it has years to complete.
The Mastic Trail meanders through the land owned bythe National Trust and provide guidance that will assist in identifying what you're seeing too. If you are an expert in semi-tropical flora and fauna, it is worthwhile to go with a guide. Otherwise, the only thing you probably should be noted with certainty that there is a lot of trees.
The path is on the other side of the Botanical Grand Cayman National Trust's Park and that makes them less fearful for the preparation on your own. It also has the advantage of the markings on theTrees and pools (for you about what you want to see, say), rest stops along the way, and a level of groomed trail, you are therefore "do not travel on foot. Ponds inhabited by turtles on the road, but despite the name of one of the ponds, Crocodile Hole, no crocodiles. The crocodiles or alligators, were wiped out centuries ago.
Halfway along the trail is the blue iguana breeding center, where you can see iguanas of all sizes and ages, from toddlers to teenagers. The adults are in the park,which might not be a comforting thought. You are weird-looking creatures, but the good news, they are harmless. However, as with all wildlife, it is not a good idea to feed them.
The park was the only place we saw the Cayman Green Parrot, the national bird of the Cayman Islands. Unfortunately, as many live national symbols in the world, it has been pushed to the edge of life in his own apartment.
Two other areas should you consider forare on foot, pond Malportas in the conservation area on north side, near the northern end of the Mastic Trail and Barkers National Park, at the head of the West End. Both have hiking trails, and both are pretty quiet most of the time, few visitors wander far from their resort facilities.
