Jaguar Paw

On the crystal waters of the Caves Branch River, amidst Belize’s pristine rain forest, and still only 75 minutes from the airport, Jaguar Paw blends adventure with style. Tours leave right from the lodge. Cave tubing is a must, but you'll also enjoy hiking, birding, caving, canoeing, zip lines and rapelling. Of course every tough day in the jungle ends with a relaxing tropical drink by the pool, a gourmet meal,  and a great night's sleep in the most comfortable and uniquely decorated jungle room you are ever likely to experience. Try Jaguar Paw once (it's a great last night's stop) and you will be back for a lot more.
