The Belize Audubon Society is in charge of this national
park in an effort to create a balance between people and the environment. The
Bz$8 ticket price contributes to the conservation in Belize (www.base@btl.net). 
At first I went to the cave, there are two ways to get
there; the highlands and the lowlands, and I took the low road. It was an easy
enjoyable walk that took about 20 minutes. I also went for the unguided tour;
if you want the guided one it can take four hours and requires getting wet,
down and dirty. There is a crystal cave too, but that is several more hours and
more dirt. It sounds like fun for another trip.
Next there is the “Blue Hole”; this has two trails one that
take you around through the jungle for one mile giving you a chance to see many
birds and other wildlife, or you can walk about five minutes down some stairs to
a beautiful lagoon. The lagoon has two parts; one goes into a cave with bats,
stalactites and dripping water from the ceiling, the other has delightful
turquoise blue water inviting you in for a cool swim. I went early Sunday
morning and I had the place to myself this I highly recommend.
You can spend a little more than an hour to all day. I spent
three hours; it was a delightful way to spend a morning.
