Drake Dawson of Safari Unlimited and The Cotton Tree Lodge is offering an 8-day and 7-night jungle retreat and fishing package for two people in the wild and beautiful Belizean Jungle.
Step into the world of the Maya and explore untouched rivers and jungles for a once in a lifetime experience. Tour the rainforest and awaken your senses to the sounds of exotic birds and wildlife. Fish the flats and remote jungle rivers for snook, permit, and tarpon. Rope swing from trees along the Moho River, paddle upstream in a wooden dugout canoe, kayak in the jungle, or maybe visit the many Mayan ruins in the area. Take a 30 foot jump from a waterfall in the morning and make your own chocolate bars in the afternoon. Visit the small town of Punta Gorda on Market day and see the vast array of local fruits, vegetables and fish. The lodge is totally off grid, using mainly solar power. They raise fresh crops, harvest local wild fruits, and even tend their own flocks of chicken, pig, and goats. Tour a local Cacao farm or taste the flavors of culture at the Belize Spice Farm. Your cabanas are nested 16 feet above the ground and perched along the slow-moving Moho River. After you have enjoyed an evening gourmet meal prepared by our chef fall asleep to the sounds of the howler monkeys and the sound of the jungle. This and more awaits you at your exclusive private jungle lodge experience.
