San Antonio Waterfall

Tucked away in the hilly Mayan village of San Antonio are the lovely San Antonio falls. Though smaller than Rio Blanco, San Antonio Waterfall is a shorter drive and much more accessible, making it a better choice for some of our less active guests.The van will take you very close to the pools below the 10" waterfall here, where you can wade in or take a swim.Those looking to challenge themselves may climb the boulders around the falls to the pools at the top, and maybe even jump off the ledges there.

The wildlife near the waterfall is as beautiful as in any part of Belize, and a thatched picnic area is a perfect place to relax and watch for toucans and other birds.Because the waterfall is just off the road, this is also a great spot to observe the bustle of village life.San Antonio is one of the largest and oldest villages of Toledo, founded in 1883 by Mopan Maya fleeing forced military service in Guatemala.In August or September you may encounter the Deer Dance, performed in colorful costumes and celebrating the Feast of San Luis.
