Sightseeing
Great hiking, swimming and bird-watching! First (if driving from Belmopan) entrance has a small Visitor's Center along with tour guides who would be happy to organize cave tubing for you! Useful tip: for the price of the entrance (very reasonable as it's the national park) you can explore the entrance of St. Herman's Cave on your own! Make sure you have good shoes (no flip-flops) and reliable flash lights! Second entrance is where the Blue Hole refreshing swimming spot is along with picnic tables and another tiny visitor's center. Small but beautiful and cozy national park!

Feel as if you are on safari at the best small zoo on Earth. Witness the animals of Belize you are not likely to find even in much bigger zoos. Tapirs, jaguars, toucans, howler monkeys, and so many more. Perfect for a day trip walking and exploring the many paved paths. Great for all ages. Features a very nice luncheon and souvenir shop.

The Friday's Farmer's market is a must!
If you are in Belmopan on a Friday morning, don't think twice - get to Blue Moon Farmer's Market (7 am to 1 pm across from Scotchie's restaurant on Hummingbird Highway). The best artisanal products, arts and crafts, organic fruit and veggies, fresh baked goods and even a massage booth! It's mainly for locals, so the prices are so much better compared to the Cayes or other touristic areas!

Best places for grocery shopping
Most of supermarkets in Belize are owned by Chinese families and open very convenient hours from 8 am to 9 pm every day of the week. The best supermarket "The Mall" is conveniently located on Hummingbird Highway next to Scotchie's restaurant. If you want more fresh fruit and veggies - there is a big market behind the bus station in Belmopan (it gets even bigger and more crowded on market days of Tuesdays and Fridays). It is open every Monday-Saturday from early morning through late afternoon. Decent street food stalls but be prepared for the crowd and noise:)
