duPlooy's Jungle Lodge

duPlooy's Jungle Lodge is unique. When the family arrived 20 years ago to start turning a cattle ranch and farm into one of the most jungly jungle lodges in Belize, plus the 45-acre Belize Botanic Garden, they didn't realize what a truly positive environmental impact this could make.

Besides becoming a haven for birds and animals, duPlooy's has become a haven for people seeking time away from the stress of a busy life. At duPlooy's you will love spending time wandering about the property and Belize Botanic Gardens, watching birds and stars, swimming in or floating down the Macal River, relaxing on your porch or on the river's "beach", enjoying a massage in our treetop therapy cabin, or just lying in your hammock. Now that's a vacation!

If you are looking for more action, let our expert guides show you enchanting ancient Maya sites, spectacular caves and waterfalls, horse trails and great hiking. Return in the evening to duPlooy's deck for a cool drink and enjoy some of the freshest and most delicious food in Belize.

Room prices include continental breakfast, use of canoes and inner tubes on site, complimentary coffee or tea and morning birding on the deck, plus unlimited entrance to Belize Botanic Gardens and self-guided tour booklet (feel free to take the booklet home, or recycle it at the office.)

At certain times of year Belize gets very hot (we are in the tropics) and all visitors should note that we have no air conditioning at duPlooy's. While this is not a problem for most people, we do ask all those planning to visit to take this into consideration before booking. Remember: all rooms have fans and you can always cool off on our beautiful Macal River Beach or enjoy a cool drink at our canopy bar!
