Mayflower Bocawina National Park, National park in Stann Creek District, Belize.
Mayflower Bocawina is a national park in Stann Creek featuring expansive tropical rainforest with multiple waterfalls and rivers throughout the landscape. The park contains a network of hiking trails that wind through its dense woodland areas.
The park was established in 2001 and protects three Mayan archaeological sites that are currently undergoing excavation by researchers. These sites hold potential for important discoveries about ancient settlements in the region.
The park engages local communities through employment opportunities as rangers and guides, contributing to sustainable tourism development in the Stann Creek region.
Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and bring rain gear since trails pass through damp forest terrain. Guided tours are available to lead visitors safely through the protected area.
The park features one of the country's longest zipline systems that spans several kilometers and carries visitors above the forest canopy. This activity offers an alternative way to explore the woodland landscape from an elevated viewpoint.
