Reasons To
Visit Belize

  • Caves

    The west of Belize is particularly well known for its spectacular stalactite-filled cave systems. Some, such as Actun Tunichil Muknal cave, are full of Mayan artefacts and sacrificial remains and involve an exhilarating adventure. Others, such as Barton Creek cave, can be viewed in a more relaxed way by canoe, while some can be reached simply by walking across slippery rocks.

  • Coral Reefs

    Beautiful clear waters and the world’s second longest coral reef system surround Belize and incredible sealife awaits discovery. Even when diving to a depth of 40 metres with the sun streaming through the water, it feels as if you are only just beneath the ocean’s surface.

  • Islands and Atolls

    Belize is made up of hundreds of cayes and tiny islands called atolls surrounded by clear waters and stunning reefs. They make for ideal hideaways for those looking for some peace, relaxation and wonderful diving and snorkelling.

  • Mayan ruins

    Caracol is the largest Maya archaeological site in Belize. Surrounded by rainforest, its most distinguishable feature is the massive pyramid capped by three temples that rises over 50 metres above the jungle floor. Teeming with wildlife, the historic remains of Tikal are also impressive and worth a visit.

  • Rainforest

    You can't beat tramping through the hot and steamy rainforests in Belize. Especially in the early morning as the jungle comes alive with the incredible noise of howler monkeys barking and the squawks of macaws.

  • River Tubing

    There is nothing quite like river-tubing in Belize. You walk with your tube through the steamy jungle until you get to the jumping in point from where your journey begins. Here, you simply sit in your tube and float down the river with nothing but the sounds of the forest surrounding you, through huge caverns with stalactites looming down at you out of the dark!

Black Rock River Lodge

Cayo District & Caracol

Black Rock Lodge is situated 11 miles (about 45 minutes drive) from San Ignacio. The Eco-Lodge consists of 14 cabins with porches and hammocks to enable you to relax and contemplate the magnificent views over the Macal River and the Don Elijo Panti National Park. It is well known for its superb bird watching with over 250 species of bird spotted on site.

The lodge only uses renewable energy harnessed from the river below and produces much of its own fruit and vegetables that are served in its restaurant. Activities can be organised from the lodge and vary greatly from horse back riding to night hiking.

The rooms are all decorated very simply but are airy and spacious. Dinner is a four course set meal served family style", where everyone eats together (they can arrange a vegetarian option). Breakfast and lunch are a la carte, and paid for locally.
