Blue Hole (park)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blue Hole National Park is a national park located just off the Hummingbird Highway in Cayo District of Belize. It is over 500 acres (2 km²) in area, and contains two cave systems (St. Hermans and Crystal), various natural trails, and the cool jungle pool from whence the park gets its name. The park is managed by the Belize Audubon Society.

This "blue hole" is not to be confused with the offshore Great Blue Hole, also in Belize.

[edit] Flora and Fauna

The park has over 200 species of birds, including unusual tropical species such as the Slaty Antbird and Red-legged Honeycreeper.

The Ocelot, Jaguarundi, and Jaguar have all been recorded in Blue Hole National Park.
