Orange Walk District, Belizean Jungle, Belize

Begin your Belizean adventure completely off-grid at the charmingly rustic Lamanai Outpost Lodge. This is one of those unique places that simply cannot be missed, especially if you are into your wildlife, you’ll be left with unforgettable memories. Don’t forget your binoculars as you embark on sunrise walks to spot monkeys and toucans while listening to the jungle waking up. Discover the remnants of a 3000-year-old Maya city, just moments from the lodge. Take sunset canoe expeditions to view manatees, crocodiles and otters or after dinner head out into the night on a jungle-riverboat, armed with a flashlight in search of nocturnal creatures. With three nights here, you'll have ample opportunity to fully immerse yourself into the jungle setting and meet with its inhabitants.

There are great birdwatching opportunities in the area, look out for southern sting rays while you take walks along the beach, swim with sea turtles just mere meters away from your sun lounger, jump in a kayak and paddle down waterways teeming with wildlife (including crocodiles) or head deeper into the jungle for more adrenaline inducing zip-lining or enjoy a history tour at the ruins of Xunantunich.
