    Parrot Nest Treehouses

    Posted by waywardcanuck 14 May 2012

    Luckily iguana don't snore or it would be a very noisy night's sleep in the trees. The treehouses are snug, overlooking the Mopan river (great for swimming) and your tree will be visited by not just iguanas but likely also parrots and toucans. Mayan ruins, San Ignacio and the Cave of the Crystal Maiden are all within travelling distance. Best of all, the Parrots Nest is a small independently run lodge run by an incredibly welcoming family.

    This incredible three mile cave system is set in the heart of a Belizean nature reserve. You enter straight in at the deep end, immersing yourself in water and squeezing between rocks. The cave houses artefacts and skeleton remains of Mayan sacrificial ceremonies, including 'The Crystal Maiden' - a calcified skeleton of a sacrificed teenage girl sparkling away like crystals. The cave has been left exactly how it was found, the ceramics are lying on the altars just as they were. The atmosphere is thick with magic, and the Belizean Tourist Board only permits small groups from a few select guides, making it feel as if you are discovering it for the very first time!

    45 minute drive from San Ignacio, then a 45 minute trek.
    Can be booked through selected guides in San Ignacio, Belize.
