While there's much to be said for lounging on a hammock in your private veranda, Machaca Hill Lodge offers an even better way to observe Belize's jungle sounds and sights.
Take the Machaca Hill Lodge jungle tram down to the Rio Grande, a Belize river which snakes its way through the jungle to the Caribbean shore. Along these tranquil waterways, wildlife sightings are optimal. Keep your eyes out for monkeys, crocodiles and the famously elusive Indian manatee who haunts the brackish rivermouth.
Or bring a pole and try your luck at fishing for tarpon, permit, bonefish and snook, under the tutelage of the lodge's professional fly fishing guides.
