The Macal River Camp
San Ignacio Town, Cayo
Hotel Description
Set high on the river's lush banks, close to the ancient Mayan ruins of
Tipu and Xunantunich, is The Macal River Camp. Scattered throughout
tropical rainforest are ten casitas, or small bungalows, each on a raised
platform with airy peak-roofs, full screens and containing two or four
comfortable beds. Each casita has a private sheltered porch for quiet
relaxation and peaceful views into the undisturbed jungle habitat. The
Macal River Jungle Camp provides an ideal base from which to explore the
nature and culture of western Belize.
The Macal River Camp combines comfort with a genuine jungle experience.
With swimming, canoeing, miles of well maintained trails, a Butterfly
Farm, Natural History Centre, and scheduled day tours to Xunantunich,
Caracol, Tikal, the Mountain Pine Ridge, and the Chumpiate Maya Cave,
your stay is guaranteed to be both adventurous and educational.
The camp provides shared bathrooms with hot water showers, and clean,
comfortable facilities. Friendly local staff serve traditional Belizean
meals in a spacious central thatch-roof palapa where travelers can relax
and swap tales with new friends over an ice cold Belikin beer.
The river camp has been designed for outdoors people who enjoy rustic
accommodations in a remote setting. Comfortable beds with clean linens,
pillows, towels and blankets assure a good night's rest after a day bush
walking, canoeing, or other rainforest activities. Vehicle traffic into
the camp is restricted, and every effort has been taken to minimize the
camp's impact on the natural surroundings.
