Hiking to Antelope Falls at Bocawina!

​

Step off the beaten path and into the wild heart of Belize on this exhilarating jungle hike through Bocawina National Park — where ancient Maya history, tropical rainforest, and cascading waterfalls converge for an unforgettable adventure!
 

After a scenic 45-minute drive from Hopkins, including a rugged 4-mile stretch through lush jungle roads, we’ll arrive at the park entrance — the gateway to your adventure. Your guide will provide a brief orientation and safety talk before introducing you to the park’s rich ecosystem and your ultimate destination: Antelope Falls, one of Belize’s most stunning natural wonders.

The journey begins with a fascinating stop at an unexcavated Classic Maya site, hidden beneath the forest floor — a powerful reminder of the ancient civilization that once thrived here. As you continue along the trail, your guide will point out medicinal plants, exotic trees, and the vibrant wildlife that make Bocawina a true living classroom of the rainforest.

The final stretch of the hike is a thrilling climb, where ropes and a bit of determination will help you conquer the steep ascent. But your efforts will be rewarded — at the summit, take a dip in a cool, refreshing mountain pool beneath the falls, and enjoy a well-earned snack surrounded by nature’s serenity.

Before descending, pause at a panoramic viewpoint that reveals breathtaking vistas — the emerald rainforest canopy stretching all the way to the shimmering Caribbean Sea. It’s the perfect spot to reflect, breathe, and capture memories of Belize’s untamed beauty.

As you make your way back to Hopkins, you’ll feel refreshed, accomplished, and deeply connected to the wild spirit of Belize — a true adventurer’s reward.
