Five Sisters Lodge

Back to Hotel & Resort Directory

Five Sisters Lodge might be described as a cross between Yellowstone Park and the tropics. Located in the scenic Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, the largest protected area in Belize. The lodge is about a one-hour drive from San Ignacio, on the Caracol road, just a few miles beyond the gate at the reserve's entrance. The location is ideal for anyone interested in exploring the region, including Caracol, Belize's largest Maya ruin, only a 1-1/2 hour drive from the lodge.

The Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve of Belize is a perfect example of the diversity this country offers. With its reddish soil, tall pine trees sweeping the sky, and somewhat drier atmosphere, this region presents a sharp contrast to the dense jungle by which it is surrounded. In the heart of this locale rests Five Sisters Lodge, perched high atop the edge of a steep valley, overlooking the Five Sisters Falls which flow over the rocks far below. (The falls are so named because there are five of them, side by side.) With wonderful vistas of the falls, and over the surrounding hills, this lodge invites you to sit back, relax, and be lured into tranquillity by the sound of the cascading water.

Below: A thatched-roof, gazebo-style wedding chapel sits at the foot of the falls, a popular spot for weddings.

The 14 cabanas of varied size are beautifully designed using Belizean materials, including local hardwoods, pimento sticks, traditional bay leaf thatched roofs and richly varnished mahogany interiors.

Each cabin is equipped with hot and cold baths, verandahs and hammocks. The Lodge has a unique, wood-burning boiler system to heat its water. Our showers were not necessarily hot, but warm enough to be comfortable.

The lodge provides full dining facilities, an in-house bar, and a stargazing deck (below).

Nestled within an immense rain forest and natural wildlife Sanctuary, the 10-acre Five Sisters Lodge is a natural base for activities in the Cayo region.

Driving Direction

From the Int'l Airport you drive out to the Northern Highway. Drive Straight down (right) until you approach a huge round-about with a Flag Monument, at this point drive straight across the round-about towards Belcan Bridge (can be seen at this point). Drive straight over the bridge - you are now on Central American Blvd. Go pass to two (2) traffic lights and look for another round-about with a hand sculpture holding a leaf. Make an immediate right at round-about which will take you to the Western Highway. You will proceed directly westward (approximately 65 miles) until you get to the Village of Georgeville at this point you will see a sign for Mountain Pine Ridge at which you will make a sharp left-turn. From there you are close to your destination - 19 miles on dirt road will lead you to the Five Sisters Lodge.
