St. Herman's Blue Hole National Park
A rainforest park beside the Hummingbird Highway where you can swim in the deep blue sinkhole of an underground river and explore St. Herman's Cave.
The national park lies beside the Hummingbird Highway. Its inland Blue Hole is a collapsed sinkhole where an underground river surfaces to form a deep blue pool good for swimming. About 1 km away, St. Herman's Cave holds Maya remains; you can enter the first section on your own, but going deeper or cave tubing requires a guide. Birdwatching on the park trails is excellent. Admission is about US$8. The park is about an hour's drive from San Ignacio and can be combined with trips south or to Dangriga.
