St. Herman's Cave

Just 12 miles southeast of Belmopan along the Hummingbird Highway is St. Herman's Cave, which is home to one of the nation's most easily accessible caverns. After paying a nominal entrance charge, travellers set off on a short 10-minute trail that leads to the warm entrance of St. Herman's Cave from the visitor centre and parking lot that are conveniently placed off the highway. Because there is evidence that the Maya used this cave during the Classic Period of their rule, it is significant from an archaeological perspective.

Visitors descend steps that the Mayas originally chiselled out of the earth at the cave's entrance. To observe the chilly, dark interior at this stage in the adventure, flashlights or headlamps are required. Torches, spears, and ceramics are some of the artefacts that have been found in the St. Herman's Cave. Crystals can be seen shimmering in the limestone rock of the cave's walls and ceiling shining flashing lights on them.

For the next 20 minutes, guests explore the cave's deeper levels while admiring the impressive rock formations. The self-guided trip will come to a conclusion at a sign. For those desiring to continue and exit at one of the cave's other two entrances, a tour guide is now necessary. A tour guide is also required to enter a different shelter in the vicinity called the Crystal Cave and a number of other trails. The Blue Hole should also be visited by St. Herman's Cave visitors.
