The national park surrounds Caracol, a Mayan city. Caracol has been designated as an archaeological reserve and is not included within the park's total area. Chiquibul Forest Reserve is adjacent to the park. Establishment of the park Chiquibul National Park was originally part of Chiquibul Forest Reserve, which was designated in 1956. In 1991, due to lobbying from conservationists, the three-quarters of the forest reserve that did not have active logging concessions was re-designated as a national park under Belize's National Parks System Act. The park's borders were re-defined in 1995. Caracol became surrounded by the national park. Geology and geography The western side of the park lies along Belize's border with Guatemala. The park lies west of the Mayan Mountains. The park's landscape includes south Vaca Plateau and eastern slopes of the Maya Mountains.

The park incorporates portions of the Chiquibul Cave System, the longest known cave system in Central America.
