Elijio Panti National Park

Fodor's Review:

Named after the famed Guatemala-born herbal healer who died in 1996 at the age of 106, Elijio Panti National Park is a wonderful addition to Belize's already extensive national parks system. It spans 13,000 acres around the villages of San Antonio, Cristo Rey, and El Progreso and into the Mountain Pine Ridge. The hope is that with no hunting in this park, more wildlife will return to western Belize. As it only opened in 2001, the park boundaries are ill-defined, no admission fee is charged, and an official welcome center and other park formalities do not exist.
