Macal River Camp

The Macal River silently carves a course from the limestone of the Maya Mountains through the dense rainforests of the Cayo District as it makes its way down to the Caribbean Sea. Set high on the river`s lush banks, close to the ancient Mayan ruins of Tipu and Xunantunich, is the Macal River Jungle Camp. Scattered throughout tropical rainforest are ten raised, covered platforms sheltering spacious two-bed tents with private verandas providing an ideal base from which to explore the nature and culture of western Belize.

Macal River Jungle Camp combines comfort with a genuine jungle experience. With swimming, canoeing, miles of well-maintained trails, a Butterfly Farm, Natural History Center, 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 hot water showers, and clean, comfortable bathroom facilities. Friendly Mayan hosts 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.
