The
Lodge is nestled amidst lush jungle trees on a hilltop with a spectacular
panorama of the historic Belize River in the
heart of the Community Baboon Sanctuary in the quiet village
of Bermudian Landing.
Our
sensitivity to the environment and protection of forest habitat
for the preservation of the ecology is evident all around our lodge.
As a result Black Howler Monkeys (Alouatta Pigra) can sometimes
be observed right from your cabin's porch!
There
is never any disappointment for bird lovers, as over 200 known species
of birds are in the area, along with innumerable orchids, bromeliads,
vines and trees. So bring along your binoculars, repellent, sunscreen,
cap, comfortable shoe, camera or video and your spirit of adventure!
The lodge has even been called a sanctuary within a sanctuary.

"A family
run eco-tourist facility, clean rooms and a whole lot of nature."
24hrs electricity
(110 volts/60cycles) available from the Belize grid, but they do
experience blackouts from time to time.
Meals:
The meals
are served family style, in their dining room (not restaurant).
Dishes are mostly Belizean with some international flair. Their
most popular dish is rice and beans, stew chicken, steamed veggies
and powder buns along with refreshing lime juice.
They need
to know any dietary restrictions prior to arrival so they can prepare
you a meal to remember - vegetarians are welcome!
Library:
The lodge
has two libraries. The first being a "one for one" book
exchange, with a wide variety of novels. The other is a compact
reference library containing books of birds, botanicals, guide,
history, biology and various others located in the central area
and available to their guests.
Howler Monkey

mango, and black berry trees; birds such as trogons, toucans, manakins,
woodpeckers and flycatchers; animals such as iguana, squirrel, bush
