What to do and see in Belmopan, Cayo: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
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.

We did not stay on the property but we did a night horseback ride through the jungle! It was such a unique experience unlike anything else I have ever seen or done. It is a bit off the beaten path to get there, but once you arrive they greet you with smiles and welcome! The horses are already saddled up and ready which is awesome because they let the horses free range their 4,000 acres of jungle and ranch when not being used so they have to round them all up. They help you hop on your stead and trek through sometimes complete darkness trusting your horse knows the way - and they do! Leisa and the guides are really friendly and will tell you all about the place, the jungle, the plants, and animals of the area. Also, they have a rescued Jaguar on premise and the famous spider monkey that slaps Chris Pontius from The Wild Boys show!

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.

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.
