Parks & gardens

A small national park in central Belize, named after a huge guanacaste tree that escaped logging. Because its trunk splits into three, the tree was unsuitable for timber and has survived to this day.
Temples & religious sites
Our Lady of Guadalupe Co-Cathedral
Our Lady of Guadalupe Co-Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Belmopan that, together with Holy Redeemer Cathedral in Belize City, serves as a co-cathedral of the diocese. It's a good place to explore the modest capital's center of faith.
