Inland Blue Hole — Local services in Cayo District

This was a pleasant surprise. Basically, it's a swimming hole with easy access into the water as there is a concrete platform with steps into the pond. There are no changing facilities so come prepared, or get comfortable with your modesty... or go au naturel which is not allowed but as there was no one there during my visit...

If you have paid to go to St. Herman's Cave, your admission is valid here as it is the same park. Otherwise, open up your wallet for the minimal fee.

Herman cave there are massive mosquitoes and sundry bugs here. Please slather yourself with lots of bug spray before and immediately after you come out...
