Chan Chich is a premier Belize jungle lodge that is located on a 130,000 acre private nature reserve in Northern Belize. The reserve is one of the best places in Belize to see a jaguar in its natural habitat, this coupled with over 350 species of bird and highly knowledgable guides makes it a top choice for nature enthusiasts. However, it is an equally popular choice for honeymooners or those looking for a unique and extra special destination.

Rooms: are in 12 individual thatched roof cabanas that are fully screened with ceiling fans and have wraparound verandas. Upgrade to a deluxe cabana that features large, luxury bathroom, closet and mini-bar. In addition there is a luxury two bedroom villa with air-conditioning and outdoor living areas, one with a private jacuzzi and outdoor shower.

Dining: is excellent, with good daily choices and can occur on the veranda or screened-in dining area.

Onsite: There are over 9 miles of trails that can be explored independently or with a guide. The lodge offers guided nature, birdwatching and ecology walks both during the day and at night with their expert guides. Guided horse-riding and canoeing is available through the lodge. Alternatively a number of vehicle tours are offered daily and at night. There is also a screened-in pool and Jacuzzi onsite.

Our Comment: One of the best Belizean jungle lodge experiences, very friendly staff and excellent service. Particularly good for birdwatchers, you can even observe a variety of birds whilst dining on the veranda.
