Location:
Located within a 250,000 acre private reserve, Chan Chich
Lodge is bordered to the north by another 262,000 acres of protected
lands managed by Programme for Belize. The lodge is built into the lower plaza of an ancient Maya city.
Chan Chich Lodge can be reached by air from Belize City or by automobile
(4 -5 h).
Description:
In Mayan, Chan Chich means "little bird" and the
vast number of species found in the surrounding forests make this
a birder's and naturalist's paradise. With the highest Christmas bird
count in Belize (and fifth highest in Central America), Chan Chich
has been recognized as "Wilderness Retreat of the Year"
by Andrew Harper's prestigious "Hideaway Report" and has
been featured in recent issues of both Conde Naste and National Geographic
Traveler magazines.
The 12 thatched-roof cabanas
surround two central buildings that contain the reception desk, restaurant,
bar, gift shop, and library. Each cabana is fully screened and has
two queen-size beds, ceiling fan, private bath with hot and cold water,
24 hour electricity and a wrap-around veranda complete with hammocks.
The cabana is beautifully finished inside with local exotic hardwoods.
After an exciting day of
discovery and exploration, you can relax at the Lodge with a refreshing
cold drink from our well stocked bar (aptly named "The Looters
Trench") or a dip in the pool and watch the sun go down while
sipping a margarita in the spa. Later, enjoy a candlelit dinner sampling
a variety of native and international cuisines.
Chan Chich Lodge can be
reached by air from Belize City or by automobile. If driving, four
wheel drive is strongly recommended, and plan on taking all day from
Belize City. Although a long drive (4-5 hours) you will have a unique
opportunity to see a number of different ecosystems in the country
and, no doubt, a considerable amount of wildlife. It is a memorable
drive.
