A CNN video highlighting the natural scenic beauty of the Hummingbird Highway and the Caves Branch Jungle Lodge is a great introduction to some of the most spectacular natural wonders in Belize.
Chabil Mar, the award-winning luxury resort on the Placencia Peninsula, offers its guests a comprehensive vacation package to experience the pristine loveliness of Caves Branch for themselves. The package includes transportation, meals, and everything else necessary to enjoy Caves Branch Jungle Lodge and the surrounding 50,000 acres of privately-owned unspoiled nature at its finest. The Caves Branch Jungle Lodge had simple beginnings two decades ago when two adventurers and nature lovers, Ian and his wife Ella, decided to build a simple camp in the jungle so that they could experience the best of the Belize jungle.
With just a simple shack for shelter and no running water, the camp soon began to evolve as more and more people wanted to experience the wonders of the area for themselves. Today, the Jungle Lodge is still the center of action for exciting adventures like climbing up waterfalls, caving, exploring underground rivers, and rapelling down cliffs, but the Lodge itself is now composed of five-star luxury tree houses complete with hot tubs and open-air decks in order to experience the jungle from up on high.
The complete vacation package offered by Chabil Mar includes a chance to walk through the jungle after dark, when a completely different world opens up, as well as your choice of the resort’s signature tours. Ride an inner tube through miles of underground caves, explore botanical gardens, or brave the abyss of the infamous Black Hole. After a fun day in the jungle, relax with a full body massage, sip on a cocktail made from locally-made rum and fresh-squeezed tropical juices, or choose to partake in a early morning expedition into the forest to go birdwatching.
No matter how you choose to spend your time at the Caves Branch Jungle Lodge, you’ll definitely have a one-of-a-kind experience in a gorgeously natural setting in some of the most pristine wilderness in Belize.
