Blue Creek IZE Lodge

Southern Belize


This IZE (International Zoological Expeditions) property enjoys a gloriously remote rainforest location on the banks of Blue Creek, deep in rural Toledo District but only a 10-minute walk from Blue Creek village. There are five rustic river-facing timber cabins and two tree houses, all with verandas, fans and shared bathroom.

It's primarily for school and study groups but travelers are welcome with advance reservation.
