Chan Chich is a notable jungle lodge within the country of Belize because it is positioned right within the rainforest of western Belize. This location gives you a prime opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of the Central American jungle wilderness; it can be an amazing experience to start your day being awoken by the chorus of bird calls, then opening your eyes, and your window, to see a rainbow of colored feathers roosting and flying through the trees. This area has more animals than just birds, though there are thousands of varieties of tropical birds that call the region home, and extends to deers, ocellated turkeys, and the pig-like peccaries.

Chan Chich also provided its guests with all of the comforts you would want in a jungle lodge, so wi-fi, a swimming pool, internet, and so on are all available to you; you will not have to struggle like some ship-wrecked Robinson Crusoe. Furthermore, the facility is fully aware of the natural beauty it is surrounded by and has done its best to make conservation a priority in everything it is and does. If your concerns are more along the line of “this sounds fine but what is there to do?” there are more than enough activities for guests.

Take one or more tours of the various Maya ruins that call this land home. Even the jungle lodge is located within the main plaza of an ancient Maya temple.
Explore the local area from atop a friendly steed with a horseback tour.
See how coffee goes from grown beans to a delicious elixir by touring the Gallon Jug coffee plantation.
Fill your belly and recharge your batteries with food and drinks that are harvested and prepared with conservation in mind.

If you are in the market for a travel experience that gives you authentic exposure to the natural world and you demand it is handled by a conservation-minded facility, few locales are better able to fill that need than Chan Chich within the lush jungle of Western Belize.
