What to do and see in Belmopan, Cayo: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

February 26, 2022 Dorsey Hagwood

Smaller and more intimate than popular resort areas such as San Ignacio and Belize City, the modest capital of Belmopan is nonetheless a vibrant city surrounded by stunning scenery and wildlife. Next to the bustling Market Square, Independence Plaza is home to the prime minister's offices, various pedestrian pathways and the National Assembly Building, designed to resemble a Mayan temple. Outside the city lay the spectacular Guancaste Park as well as the astonishing Hummingbird Highway.

St. Herman's Cave

Reviewed By Lumberjack67 - Denver, United States

Our guide led us on a short hike to the cave, and explained to us about Belize, the people, and the environment. She even made it a point to stop and show us small, Black Orchid, which is Belize's national flower. While going into the cave, she told us about what the Mayan's believed about the underworld and what kind of rituals they would do in the caves. She even found a scorpion spider, or whip spider, to show us and why they hang out in caves. Once in the water, she pulled us on our tubes to the back of the cave and then we began to float back down the river. At one point, she told us to turn off our lights and to just be quite. We sat there in the pitch black, listening to the sounds of the water and the cave, A very surreal experience. At the end of the tour, we were able to observe some bats and how they fly about the cave. I highly recommend this experience.

This store might be an arts and crafts store for the locals but is an excellent place for tourists to pick up souvenirs. They have everything from t-shirts and hats to collectible patches, spoons, and stickers, not to mention some of the best wood carvings around. There’s also a great coffee shop within that serves a wide variety of coffee and snacks. The Art Box is also a great pit stop between the airport and the resorts in the rainforest and beach. Clean bathrooms and a great excuse to stretch your legs. You won't leave empty-handed, I guarantee.

Blue Hole National Park

Reviewed By pTAa10 - Winnipeg, Canada

We had a lot of fun here, and its right on the Humminbird highway! We first check out the self-guided cave tour, which was simply incredible. To be honest, I was especially impressed with the distance they allow you to go inside the cave without hiring a guide. We then took a 45 minute trail to get to the Blue Hole pond, and we took a lovely and refreshing dip amongst fish in the very clear blue water. Seems we were the only people until about 10am, when the amount of visitors began to increase. Getting a bus from Belmopan, I think it cost a total of 4 Belize dollars for us to get a ride.
