Experience the sub-tropical rainforest jungle in your private thatched roof cabana on the Belize River surrounded by tropical birds, tropical fruit, the sound of Howler Monkeys, and a natural spring. Adventure to Mayan Ruins, Cave Tubing, Zip Lining, meet the local people and enjoy local delicious Belizean dishes.
Note: This lodge is located in the real jungle. Access is by a small boat across the Belize River with a hike up a hill. We are an eco adventure lodge with a small footprint. We have limited solar, composting toilets and an abundance of nature and wildlife. We are paradise to many, but outside the comfort zone of some.
