Belize’s capital, Belmopan, isn’t like any other capital city. First, its population is far less than what you’d expect in a country’s headquarters. With slightly over 16,000 people calling it home, Belmopan lacks the usual flurry that’s characteristic of a capital. Perhaps it is because of this reason that many holidaymakers are beginning to find Belmopan an attractive destination. However, behind this dull façade lies a city that’s littered with thrilling sites and attractions. Belmopan is more than just a stop-over on your way to the Caribbean, it’s a place whose depths you’ll enjoy exploring. Aside from the plethora of restaurants and shopping outlets, you can visit scenic sites like Guanacaste National Park and hike on the nature trails charted through picturesque landscapes. You could also spend time at Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, home to a population of jaguars among other fascinating animals. And if you wish to delve farther off, Cayo and its range of attractions aren’t too far away. Interested in visiting Belmopan? Read on to learn more about the Airbnb vacation rentals in the area.
