A jungle gem in a private nature reserve, built on the site of an ancient Mayan city, the Chan Chich Lodge in Belize offers luxury accommodation and an up-close experience with wildlife.
EXPERIENCE
Birders, naturalists, and adventurers are sure to fall in love with the remarkable Chan Chich Lodge in Belize. This is luxury in the jungle, where howler monkeys are your wake-up call and the first person to spot a jaguar gets bragging rights at the breakfast table.
Guests are encouraged to walk and bike the well-marked trails, or head out with the knowledgeable and friendly guides, who can educate you on the myriad species of birds and wildlife in this incomparable jungle paradise. You're best to start a list just to keep track: deer, peccaries, monkeys, ocelot, agouti, squirrels, grey foxes, kinkajou, frogs, insects, and snakes-oh my. There are Mayan ruins to explore, a covered pool and hot tub for relaxing post-hike afternoons, fantastic food, and luxuriously appointed thatched-roof cabanas.
The staff here know their stuff, and will leave you with not only an unforgettable holiday experience, but a true appreciation and respect for the jungle and its inhabitants.
