The Lodge at Big Falls, close to Punta Gorda, in Toledo, southern Belize, is the district’s premier inland resort. Vacation packages offer guests easy access to our natural wonders, archaeological treasures and a host of adventures. Our packages include eco-tours which will introduce you to the local Mayan people and culture, Mayan archaeology and the natural history of the area. Our birding packages offer you a variety of habitats and an amazing range of resident and visiting species.

If you are looking for a southern Belize adventure vacation then we have jungle trekking, caving, river kayaking and snorkeling, fishing and manatee watching on the offshore cayes. The Lodge offers elegant accommodation, fine food and drink and relaxation in a peaceful riverside setting. An unforgettable holiday experience.

The Lodge at Big Falls is situated on the banks of the Rio Grande river in Belize's southern Toledo District. The property is located on a meander of the river with almost a mile of river frontage. There are views towards the Maya Mountains to the north west while the south eastern bank faces the village of Big Falls where villagers come down to the riverside to wash their clothes and bathe.

The Lodge has many on-site activities. Guests enjoy a game of table tennis on the veranda after a day’s tour. The new swimming pool and kayaks and inner tubes on the river ensure that guests are always able to stay cool. For self-guided tours of Big Falls and its neighborhood our mountain bikes are also available for guests’ use.

There is a Resource Centre where guests can consult a core collection of books covering birding, butterflies, the fauna and flora of Belize, Mayan archaeology and travel and touring within Belize. The resource centre allows guest to read more about the places, people, flora and fauna they may have seen during the day's excursions and develop their knowledge and understanding of Belize, and provides researchers and educationalists a quiet area to combine both work and pleasure during they stay at the lodge.

Our spacious cabanas have been designed to achieve a living space which subtly merges the internal and external environments. The rooms are all individual cottage style cabanas (sleeping up to four persons) with a full en-suite bathroom providing hot and cold water. Each cabana is thatched with bay-leaf palm, a traditional Belizean thatching material. Beautifully tiled floors, ceiling fans and fully screened, wood louvered windows offer a cool well-ventilated living area. Colorful local and regional soft furnishings complete the décor, many of which will be available to purchase in our gift shop. Landscape plantings around the cabanas have been selected to attract birds and butterflies close to the guest's living space and this wealth of flora and fauna can be enjoyed from your own thatched verandah. The Lodge delivers your choice of juice, coffee or other drinks to your verandah each morning where you can sit and enjoy the cool air or survey the early bird activity.

The Lodge at Big Falls is centrally located in Belize’s southernmost district of Toledo. It gives easy access to Toledo’s attractions being 6 miles (9.6 kilometers) south of Nim Li Punit, 8 miles (12.8km) from Lubaantun and 13 miles (20.8km) from Blue Creek Cave.
