“Fantastic gem in the heart of the jungle. Great staff, food, accommodations and so many fun things to do onsite ! We went with another couple and had so much fun zip lining and taking in the sites on the park paths. Highly recommend!.”

Bocawina is the only lodge in Belize, situated within the boundaries of a protected national park
The Mayflower Bocawina National Park was first established in 2001 to protect and manage the archaeological site and surrounding rainforest biodiversity. The Park is co-managed by the local, non-profit organization, Friends of Mayflower Bocawina National Park, located in Silk Grass Village, and APAMO , the Association of Protected Areas Management Organizations, Belize’s umbrella association for Protected Areas.
Bocawina is home of abundant wildlife and over 300 species of birds identified at the park so far, making it a paradise for bird watchers
The Park
The park is situated on the eastern end of the Maya Mountains next to the Sittee River Forest Reserve in southern Belize. This national park connects a region between the Maya Mountains and the coastal plains. This 7000 acres park, primarily consists of tropical evergreen broadleaf, lowland and hill forest ecosystems.
It is one of the best choices for leisure and adventurous explorations. The park offers excellent wildlife observation and birding opportunities as well as access to several Mayan sites and beautiful waterfalls via a system of maintained trails through the rainforest.
Mayan sites include the main Mayflower Plaza, Maintzunun temple mound and Tau Witz. Waterfalls include Bocawina Falls, Three Sisters Falls, Antelope Falls, Peck Falls and Big Drop Falls.
Some of the mammal species observed in the park include Baird’s tapir, Yucatan black howler monkey, jaguar, ocelot, deer, coati, white-lipped peccary, paca, agouti, kinkajou, gray fox, Northern tamandua, and several dozen species of bats.
Besides 7000 acres of rainforest, miles of hiking trails, abundant waterfalls, and natural swimming pools, the park also has two unexcavated Mayan Temple Mounds, as well as many other unexplored Mayan sites. A small teaching center is located in the plaza area, with an exhibit that includes a brief history of the local ancient Maya, as well as modern man’s impact on the area. Interactive exhibits are designed particularly for younger visitors.
You are welcome to explore the entire Park during your visit.
