Be sure to stop and do these 2 hikes. The first is a challenging “straight up” hike to a valley lookout. This hike is steep and challenging so you will earn your waterfall swim afterward. Then go to the waterfall for a quick chilly swim – so refreshing after the lookout hike. The rangers are super friendly and helpful.

Beautiful place 15min hike to gorgeous waterfall. I have to be honest we are 46 and 49 and almost made it to the waterfall but had to turn back due to the degree of slippery rocks, water that we were walking in, and no real trail to get there. We started slipping and our feet very uneasy under us so we decided to be safe and turn back. This was still an amazing experience and breath taking. On our way back there was an area of water that we crossed about knee deep that we were able to sit down in and cool off in the crystal clear water.

Enterence to the park is like parking on someone's front lawn. Not very big. Two hikes available. One to the falls and the other to a top of a mountain. Easy hike to the falls. There is a pool for a relaxing swim. The trail continues to the top of the falls but it looks difficult.

We had heard about it and so stopped by on our way to Placencia. The place is lovely and cool. We did not prepare properly for the short but steep and slippery hike, so will know better next time. But it was definitely a great little attraction and we will go back.

Billy Barquedier is worth a stop if you have a few hours, and want to hike a klick to a private little waterfall. It's located off the Hummingbird Highway - nowhere near Belize City; the address is wrong - in the Stann Creek district. There are 2 entrances, but you'll use the north entrance, where the tiny ranger station is, to get to the falls. It's worth a stop, and you might see some cool birds there too.

The Protected Areas Conservation Trust has a short video about it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUJIJK-MSC8 - so you can see the trails and the falls. Have fun!

We did this hike on a Saturday with our two kids 8 & 13. A local from Dangriga suggested this spot. It would be best to get here around noon or earlier as the sun shines through the canopy for a limited time on the pool. There was no one around manning the little building on the side of the road so we just parked and off we went. It was a bit slippery so it's best to have great shoes that can get wet. We only hiked to the falls not the Tiger trail which seems much more strenuous and we were hot and wanting a refreshing swim. We sure got it! Stunning setting all to ourselves, beautiful cool water. We didn't have any issues there with bugs though we always brought bug repellent with us wherever we went. Doesn't take much more than 20 minutes to get there from the roadside.

Read the reviews and wanted to do the easy 10min hike to the falls. We went in December, winter in Belize when the temperature was like 90F and burning and it felt like more than a 30min hike.

There is nothing else in the area. We parked our car at the entrance (there was probably space for one car). I was afraid if someone would park behind I couldn't get the car out. But we didn't see anyone in the area.. Apply lot of bugspray to avoid getting eaten alive. The trail was extremely slippery and prepare to junk your shoes after the muddy trail.

The falls turned out to be just OK for all the effort. Took a lot of pictures for future travelers.

Thanks to the low season I was the only one in the park while I was there. It's a nice short hike to the waterfall where you can have a lovely solitary swim and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. Bring mosquito spray!

A short hike leads to this swimming hole, which is a nice place to hang out and take a swim. The rope in some of the traveler's photos was not there when we visited but most people should be able to navigate the rocks to the waterfall. I agree with others who suggested bug spray, preferably AFTER you have had your swim so as not to pollute the water. We were told the local village uses this stream for drinking water.

The only negative was the litter along the creek. It looks like people picnic here but they leave behind bottles, wrappers, etc. It wasn't excessive but it took way from the experience a little bit. We ended up collecting what we could and leaving it with the ranger at the entrance.

Inexpensive, fun hike to a beautiful waterfall. One of our favorite spots. Be careful during rainy season, though. Rocks can be very slippery.
