Chaa Creek On-Site Activities

The Chaa Creek Natural History Centre, situated at the top of the hill behind the cottages, takes students and visitors along a fascinating time line, which begins with prehistoric land formation through to the shifting of the continents.

The Blue Morpho Butterfly Farm continues to be a major attraction as people marvel at the splendid iridescent wings of these magnificent butterflies. The "Belizean Blue" can be observed during every stage of their life cycle.

With over 350 species of resident and migratory birds, Chaa Creek's private nature reserve features some of the best birds of Belize.

This is a Belize jungle experience not to be missed, with an RTV carrying guests along rainforest trails to a cohune ridge and through broadleaf forests that support a wide variety of wild and bird life.

Guided and self-guided tours wind gently above the bank of the Macal River past medicinal plants and introduce visitors to many of the plants and herbs used in traditional Maya medicine.

Our Belize Eco Resort has a picturesque trail network that will take you to many different areas of our 365-acre forest reserve. All of the trails are numbered as shown on our comprehensive trail map.

Paddle and explore on your own or relax and enjoy the wonders of nature with a professional naturalist guide. 

 Watch as the sun sets and the birds of the day come home to their night time roosts along the verdant banks of this pristine jungle river.
