Belize Zoo, Blue Hole & Guanacaste National Park

Combine your tour to the Belize Zoo with a swim at the Blue Hole and the Guanacaste National Park. Guanacaste National Park is a popular getaway only two miles from the capital city of Belmopan, at the confluence of the Belize River and Roaring Creek. The parks small size allows visitors to observe wildlife and tropical vegetation a short distance from the entrance. Learn about plants and their traditional uses, fungus farming leaf-cutter ants, or the mini-ecosystem inside a bromeliad. Habitat consists of secondary broadleaf forest, which benefits many birds and wildlife, including the shy and secretive "tiger cat," or jaguarundi.
