A Legacy 50 Years in the Making

For nearly fifty years, the Fleming Family has worked tirelessly to create a legacy of conservation, community, education, and exceptional hospitality. The Lodge at Chaa Creek is a testament to this, as is its little sister, the Belize Rainforest Retreat. By hosting groups, families, couples, and solo travelers into its 500-acre haven, Chaa Creek has proven that People, Planet, Place is the optimum order for sustainable practice.

Are you?

  • Birders seeking an undisturbed natural forest environment to quietly observe avian species?
  • NGOs wanting to meet someplace truly special?
  • Student groups wishing to hold seminars or workshops in a healthy environment that fosters focus, engagement, and creativity?
  • Corporations planning unique team building exercises?
  • Families celebrating milestones of life that call for a truly memorable venue.

We have you covered.

These are just a few examples of groups for whom the former Macal River Camp met and exceeded expectations.

Our recipe for satisfaction is simple: share your preferences, and we’ll assign one of our experienced travel experts to work with you. They are well-versed in what is available and possible, the cost of things, and how to get the best value for any budget, ensuring you a worry-free planning process.

It is a matter of putting all the elements together and crafting the perfect rainforest experience.
