'Branch Mouth' is the affectionate name given to the place where two great rivers meet.

The two rivers are the Mopan River that comes from Guatemala in the west and the Macal river that comes from the Mountain Pine Ridge area of Belize in the south, to form The Belize River.

You can see the location relative to San Ignacio, shown on the map below. Click on the magnifying glass for more information about the Iguana nature reserve project.
