Chan Chich Lodge
by ally923
It’s a long drive though the jungle to get there, but it’s a pretty drive and I’d say it’s worth it. Chan Chich is located on a beautiful private reserve, with lot of great hiking. Most of the people we met there were serious bird watchers so if your into birding this is the place to go. Everyone who worked there was very friendly and the food was great. It was a little expensive, but you felt like you were eating a gourmet meal every night. Although we never saw one, everyone we talked to in Belize said that this is the best place to see a big cat. The trails and wild life are really outstanding. Every evening and morning you hear the howler monkeys as if they were outside your door. There are also some unexcavated ruins right on the grounds, which are pretty neat.

Try bonefishing.Go out on night searches for the elusive jaguar.Cross the border into Guatemala and visit the magnificent ruins at the site of Tikal On Ambergris Caye - being able to walk along the roadside barefoot! Where nothing more dangerous than a golf cart will pass you on the road. No tarmac - just sand.....

To get info that specific, I would go to belizeforum.com and do searches to see how much of it has already been covered before trying to pump all that info out of them. Hint - use google to search the site itself .
Here is also a great link. Although it is commercial, it consists of Lan Sluder's pick of the best books and other sources on Belize.
