If you’re looking for a summer escape that’s a little wild, a little different, and a whole lot of fun, then look no further than Belize’s rainforest. And there’s no better place to experience it all than at Chan Chich Lodge. Nestled deep in the heart of the jungle, our lodge offers the perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and authentic Belizean hospitality. Come discover the magic of the rainforest with us and create memories that will last a lifetime.
The Rainforest’s Summer Secrets
Summer in the rainforest is like nature’s own party. Everything is lush and green, thanks to plenty of rain, and the animals are out and about, enjoying the longer days. It’s the perfect time to see all the rainforest has to offer, from colorful birds to playful monkeys.
If you’re visiting during the first week of July, partake in the Belize Lobsterfest in Placencia, Ambergris Caye, or Caye Caulker! We at Chan Chich Lodge even have Jungle and Reef packages with properties in Placencia and Ambergris Caye, making it easy for you to experience the best of both worlds.
Jungle Jaunts and Nighttime Adventures
At Chan Chich Lodge, we know how to have a good time in the jungle. Saddle up for a horseback ride through hidden trails, where you might spot a toucan or two. If you’re a bird lover, our guides will help you identify all the different species you hear chirping and singing. And when the sun goes down, get ready for a night safari to see what critters come out to play after dark.
This safari-style drive uses our specially designed open-backed truck (or a battery-powered golf cart for private tours). Guides are equipped with high-powered spotlights and will search for the eye-shine of nocturnal fauna. You might spot several nocturnal birds such as the Northern Potoo and the Spectacled Owl, or even creatures closer to the top of the food chain like Jaguar, Ocelot, Margay, and Puma. The night drive is considered by most to be the best chance for a natural sighting of these elusive felines!
Ancient Mysteries and Watery Wonders
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Belize is home to ancient Maya cities hidden in the jungle, just waiting to be explored. Visit the majestic sites of Lamanai and Xunantunich, or venture further to the awe-inspiring Tikal in Guatemala.
Some of the Maya temples are even right here on our property! And if you want to cool off, take a boat trip down Laguna Verde, a tranquil, spring-fed lake teeming with wildlife. Keep an eye out for the non-dangerous Morelet’s Crocodile, turtles, and various bird species. You might even spot White-lipped and White-collared Peccary on the way!
