Southern Belize’s Eco Resort

Belize Lodge is a one-of-a-kind destination providing a unique and un-paralleled experience for today’s eco tourist. We offer a circuit of lodges that moves our guests from the Maya Mountains through the jungle to the Caribbean coast for the ultimate Belize eco tour.

Belize Lodge is designed to promote low impact eco tourism, as well as conservation and sustainable land use. Through your visit to our Belize eco resort you help ensure the continued preservation of the region’s bio-diverse wildlife and habitats.

Belize Eco Tours through Tropical Biodiversity

Lush tropical mountain forests, lowland riverine and tropical broadleaf forests, coastal mangrove cays and lagoons, and the world’s second largest barrier reef – at Belize Lodge you’ll enjoy a Belize eco tour through a great mosaic of habitat types concentrated within a small region of Toledo District.

Southern Belize’s ecosystems are teeming with wildlife:

• Over 500 species of birds
• Highest concentration of jaguar in the world in the Golden Stream watershed
• Butterflies dart among ancient stones
• Huge iguanas sun themselves along azure blue crystalline rivers
• Howler Monkeys scream in the high jungle canopy
• Tapirs feed along the edge of a freshwater marsh
• Estuarine environments support a healthy but threatened population of the West Indian Manatee and many marine species

A southern Belize eco tour becomes a trans-habitat experience. Southern Belize is one of the few areas in the world that has a great diversity of landscapes concentrated within such a small region.

• The Maya Mountains: Ancient granite peaks that dominate the coastal plain and are cleft by deep jagged canyons, sheer cliffs, and soaring towers of limestone rock. The eastern foothills, dotted with caves, give way to nearly-flat coastal lowlands.
• The Golden Stream Watershed: Links other protected areas, and forms a biological corridor. It is one of the last stretches of rare lowland tropical broadleaf forest connecting the Maya Mountains to the coast and the Port Honduras Marine Reserve.
• The Bay of Port Honduras: Rivers of the region empty into the bay which contains a unique network of over 130 mangrove cays. Its environment ranges from estuarine to full marine habitat. The southern tip of the Belize Barrier Reef, a World Heritage Site, lies on the windward side of the bay.
• The Snake Cays: On the outer edge of the Port Honduras Marine Reserve, the Cays have sandy coral beaches and support areas of rich, healthy, patch-coral reef.
• The Sapodilla Cays Marine Reserve: This reserve protects pristine reef and barrier island habitat.
