The lodge serves as the perfect base to enjoy a plethora of outdoor adventures which include canoeing down the Macal River, horseback riding along jungle trails and exploring the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich and Caracol.

Fully screened windows and high pitched roof lines create a bright and refreshing rainforest home for their guests. All cabins have en-suite bathrooms and closet areas. Simply decorated, the cabins display artwork created by local artisans and craftspeople. The recent addition of the two riverfront suites adds a modern, open-plan style of accommodation in a magnificent, private setting; perfect for honeymooners.
On days at leisure, the lodge provides an array of complimentary activities which includes river tubing, hiking through the rainforest on miles of marked trails, mountain biking and swimming in the river's clear waters.
