Belmopan

Belmopan is the capital of Belize, nearer the geographic center of the country than Belize City. It was established following the massive damage that occurred when Hurricane Hattie struck Belize City in 1961; an inland location was deemed a safer location for the national government than the low-lying seaside metropolis of Belize City.

Located on the Belize River and central to the country as a whole, Banana Bank is surrounded by evidence of both ancient Maya and the historic logging tradition that is basic to Belizean culture. With 4,000 acres of land, half of which is primary growth rainforest, there is every opportunity to see and feel the true character and nature of this beautiful country. At Banana Bank Lodge & Jungle Equestrian Centre, there is always something great and exciting to do.
