| **Lamanai Outpost Lodge
Perched on a hillside overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the New River Lagoon, the Lamanai Outpost Lodge provides a jungle experience unlike any other.
Adjacent to the spectacular Maya ruins of the Lamanai Archaeological Reserve, "The Outpost" is one of Belize's special places where adventure, education, and leisure come together in a magical blend. "Heaven on Earth"... "Paradise"... the list of adjectives used to describe The Outpost is exhaustive. Perhaps it's the mystique of the ruins, or the wildlife, or the scenery, or the unparalleled service we provide our guests. Perhaps it is all of these things - in concert - which provide visitors with a once in a lifetime experience and a lifetime of memories.
Looking for a fun-filled family adventure? The majority of our guests take advantage of our all-inclusive Natural History Packages (which include daily activities, all meals and transfers as well as leisure time) or Tropical Birding Packages (designed especially for birders). Don't be surprised if you see Black Howler Monkeys in the trees while you're learning about some of the best Maya ruins in the country. And with more than 375 species present, Lamanai is a great place for birding.
The Lamanai Outpost Lodge has also been described as "the perfect honeymoon spot" by numerous guests. There's plenty to do and see here, but there's also plenty of time to get away from it all. You can relax in what have been called "the best hammocks in Belize," or swim off the end of our 140' dock.
At the end of the day you can enjoy the sunset while sipping a cool drink from our fully-stocked bar, indulge in some of the finest cuisine in Belize, and fall asleep in your comfortable private cabana.
Just where the heck is Belize, anyway? What's the weather like? How do I get there? We answer any commonly asked questions here.
General
Belize is located just south of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and is bordered by Guatemala to the west and south. It is more than twice the size of Jamaica, with just 10% of the population (225,000).
Belize is an English speaking member of the British Commonwealth. Belize has a democratically elected government, a US embassy, and the British and US militaries maintain a year round presence for training purposes.
Although the capital city is Belmopan, the largest city in the country is Belize City, which has a population of about 70,000.
Belize was known as British Honduras until 1981 when they gained their independence from Britain.
Belize is on Central Time, but does not observe Daylight Savings Time.
Weather
The overall climate of Belize can be described as sub-tropical. The humidity, while high (mean annual humidity is 83%), is seldom oppressive for long and is most noticeable along the coast and many days it is masked by the cooling sea breezes. The Belize coastal area is exposed to southeast trade winds averaging 10-13 knots and attain an uncanny consistency during the month of July.
Temperatures in Belize range from 50°F to 95°F with an annual mean of 79°F. November to January are traditionally the coolest months with a 75°F average and May to September are the warmest at about a 81°F average.
Annual rainfall ranges from 50 inches in the North to 170 inches in the South. Although the rainy season is usually between June and August and the dry season is between February and May, global weather changes are making historical predictions somewhat invalid. At the end of October, the weather does become cooler, and from November to February, it is pleasant with occasional rain showers.
Logistics
Belize is roughly two hours out of Miami, Houston or Dallas and is serviced daily by AA, Continental, and TACA.
Unlike much of Central and South America, food and water quality is not an issue in Belize.
US citizens do not require a visa to visit Belize, US dollars, travelers checks, and credit cards are readily accepted.
Belize has two internal airlines with flights to most major inland locations occurring on the hour.
Belize has an excellent British installed telecommunications system with direct international dialing via BTL, AT&T, MCI, and Sprint – IDD cell-phones and beepers can be easily arranged for and rented short term.
Electricity is 110 volts. No adapters are necessary for U.S. appliances. Some remote hotels have electricity furnished by generators.
What to Bring - Good sunscreen is a must. Insect repellent is useful during jungle hikes or when the air is calm along the coastline. Film, batteries, cosmetics, health and beauty aids, and snack foods are expensive and brands are limited. Drinkable water is generally not a problem.
What to Wear - Shorts, T-shirts and sundresses are the rule of the day. You'll want sandals for the "surf" and comfortable sneakers for the "turf" portion of the trip. Bring a sweater or sweatshirt for evenings during winter, especially in the mountains. Long pants are a necessity in the jungle. |
