The Blue Hole is the image we associate with Belize, that beautiful blue hole in the Caribbean. There are other Blue Hole in Belize that are not so famous, but will surprise you on your way. We visited the National Park Blue Hole.

On the beautiful Belizean highway of Hummingbird Highway There are several stops you can make on your way. This road is to enjoy it, to do it calmly and take advantage of the Parks with authorized trails and nearby waterfalls. During the journey there are different detours, the landscape is simply exquisite, a road to enjoy.
