Waterfalls and Caves

Belize's diverse topography features extensive limestone cave systems and dramatic cascades concentrated within the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve and Mayflower Bocawina National Park. These sites include the highest waterfall in Central America, Thousand Foot Falls, and ancient Maya ceremonial sites like Barton Creek Cave.
