BLUE NATIONAL PARK
Located just 12 miles southeast of Belmopan (Belize’s capital city), along the Hummingbird Highway, this 665-acre park has a lot to offer.

Adjacent to the parking area steps lead to a 15-foot deep pool that gives the park its name. The stairway leads down through the forest, and birds can often be seen resting on over-hanging vines.

In geological time, the pool itself was a stretch of underground river cave, but it lost its cover when the roof collapsed.

Enjoyed as favorite picnic and swimming spot with refreshing cold-water visitors can take their snorkel, to peer down into the eerie blue cavern to see where the water comes from. The park also has a small trail network, particularly good for birding because the forest canopy is low
