Brac Parrot Reserve

A bluff-top reserve of untouched dry forest, home to the Cayman Brac subspecies of parrot, with a loop trail.

The Brac Parrot Reserve sits in the middle of the bluff plateau on Cayman Brac. It is managed by the Cayman National Trust and protects the island's last remaining stretch of native dry forest. It is the main habitat of the Cayman Brac parrot, a subspecies of the Cuban parrot unique to the island. The reserve has a loop nature trail of about 2.5 kilometres, with interpretive signs along the way. You may see parrots, white-crowned pigeons and several kinds of orchids. Early morning or late evening is the best time to see the parrots. The trail is a limestone path with an uneven surface, so wear sturdy shoes. Entry is free.
