Hummingbird Highway San Ignacio to Placencia
We took one of the most beautiful routes, Hummingbird Highway, from San Ignacio to Placencia. From San Ignacio one would have to drive back to Belmopan to get on to Hummingbird Highway. On our way we stopped to explore the St. Hermans Cave in Blue Hole National Park. Nature at its best! Very dark inside. You can rent flash lights at the office for a nominal fee. Be advised if you are claustrophobic. You can do this trek on your own only to a certain point in the cave. If you are doing the full trek you need tubes and a guide. After driving for few minutes, next stop, right by the road is access to the Blue Hole. Just before we turned to Southern Highway to head to Placencia, we stopped by Marie Sharp's Fine Foods to explore the chili fields and procure red hot chili goodness to take back home.
