History & Owners
It was luck in the throw of a dart onto a sergeant's wall and then the toss of a coin that landed Ray Wagner in Belize over twenty years ago. In those days it was "Indiana Jones" country, full of adventure, and he decided to stay. In 1998 he opened the Smuggler's Den which received its name from the historical significance of the area, known in the days of the mahogany trade as "Smuggler's Savanna". Ray and his family built everything from their hands through thick and thin, feast and famine, storm and sunshine. They live on-site and are all actively involved in running the accommodations.
