Saint Herman's Cave and Blue Hole National
Park-
Relax your mind and body in the Blue Hole, it was once a stretch of underground
river cave but the roof collapsed. The Blue Hole is a 25ft
deep pool, so named because of the color of the water. The river disappears below ground a few feet from the pool.
Visit to the subterranean depths of St. Herman's Cave or hike the nature trails with their breath-taking views. Pottery vessels
used for the collection of Zuh uy Ha (Sacred water) from dripping spelothems were found in the
St. Hermans cave. Other interesting finds included spears and torches.
All those items are now studied by the Department of Archaeology in Belmopan.
