About Bacab Eco-Park

Bacab is both a nature reserve and a theme park that has beautiful hiking trails and winding waterways. It is situated on more than 500 acres of jungle and is a favorite destination for nature enthusiasts. The main attraction is the huge swimming pool with a waterfall and the possibility to explore the wildlife surrounding it. This place was opened majorly for cruise-ship tourists, but when there are not many ships or people around, Bacab is absolutely serene. Go for a nature hike and observe multiple bird sightings.  You could also get a glimpse of other residents of the jungle like the monkeys or crocodiles. The best way to explore the reserve is on horseback, by kayak or by mountain bike. There is a restaurant that serves American, Caribbean and Belizean cuisine and also a nice gift shop to buy souvenirs from.
