An informational and educational exhibit has been designed within the property to give visitors a closer look at this amazing reptile and learn how vital they are to the ecological balance of the river habitat.

The Green Iguana Conservation Project offers the Adopt an Iguana Program which aims to raise funds for the Project and provide scholarships for local children.

Private Xunantunich Mayan Tour with Lunch
After breakfast, set out with your private local guide to explore the most famous ruins in the area. Located in the Cayo District near the town of San Ignacio, Xunantunich is most famously known for the large temple known today as El Castillo (Spanish for “The Castle”) which is more than 130 feet tall (30 meters) making it the second-tallest building in Belize.

San Ignacio
B, L
Private Hike to Big Rock Falls Tour with Lunch
There’s a reason there’s such a thing as ‘hidden gems,’ and Big Rock Falls is the prime example of this. Tucked into the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve this waterfall literally prompts your jaw to drop once you lay eyes upon it. Magnificent, monumental and massive, Big Rock stands tall with a small pool at the bottom of it, flowing into a bigger cenote that rushes over large rocks (hence, the name.) After numerous wooden stairways plunging into the forest, you will arrive at the bottom where the 150-foot waterfall stands. After all those steps, launching yourself off a rocky cliff into the pool is just what you need. If you’d rather a more relaxing entrance, simply wade amongst the rocks before dipping into the big cenote at the foot of the falls. Lying on your back and staring at the cloudless sky as you float is the recommended way to experience Big Rock Falls. For a free, natural massage place yourself near the rocky walls and let the cascades pummel your back while also refreshing your face. You can either spend a half day enjoying the chilling water of Big Rock or after spending a couple of hours head on over to Rio on Pools, which is nearby. Traditional lunch, then return to the lodge.

Tonight, Private Sunset Tour

It allows guests to enjoy the tranquility of the site and to marvel at the special ‘sense of place’ that the majestic temples, spacious courtyards and towering forest canopy creates. The silence is frequently punctured by the eerie call of howler monkeys and it’s easy to let your imagination step back in time and imagine causeways bustling with life and shamans’ holding court atop the monolithic limestone temples. As night closes in you’ll walk back along forest trails enchanted by this truly unique experience.
