Recommended Ages for a Rainforest Vacation
While children of all ages are welcome, we recommend Chan Chich Lodge for kids aged 7 and up. This age range allows children to fully enjoy the guided tours, hikes, and wildlife experiences without the challenges that very young children might face in a remote rainforest environment.
For younger kids, parents should keep in mind that the lodge is surrounded by pristine jungle, and some tours involve early mornings, longer walks, or travel in our safari-style vehicles. If your children love the outdoors and animals, they’ll thrive here!
Kid-Friendly Activities at Chan Chich Lodge
- Wildlife Spotting: Jaguars, ocelots, toucans, and howler monkeys are just some of the incredible animals kids can see right outside their cabana.
