Aunque Belice es conocido por su costa caribeña, los paisajes del interior del país ofrecen un tipo de aventura completamente diferente. Selvas tropicales imponentes, ríos serpenteantes, antiguos templos mayas y vida salvaje crean un destino tan memorable como la playa.
Para los viajeros que desean experimentar la belleza natural de Belice, The Belize Collection ofrece dos retiros en la selva: The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant y The Banks Resort. Cada uno ofrece su propia perspectiva de la selva tropical, a la vez que comparten experiencias que definen a The Belize Collection.
The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant
Situado a los pies de las Montañas Mayas y rodeado de exuberante selva tropical, The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant es un lugar donde la naturaleza ocupa un lugar central. El entorno tranquilo junto al río Sibun facilita bajar el ritmo, ya sea tomando un café con el canto de los pájaros de fondo o relajándose tras un día de exploración.
El lodge es una base ideal para descubrir algunas de las aventuras de interior más populares de Belice. Los huéspedes pueden recorrer senderos por la selva, hacer kayak en el río, explorar cuevas y cascadas o disfrutar de paseos a caballo en The Stables. Para una velada verdaderamente memorable, Dinner on the Cliff combina hermosas vistas de la selva tropical con una experiencia gastronómica excepcional.
Tanto si sus días están llenos de aventura como de momentos tranquilos en una hamaca.
The Banks Resort
Ubicado a las afueras de Belmopán, The Banks Resort ofrece una visión diferente de la experiencia en la selva. Enclavado junto al río Belice, el resort combina un entorno apacible con confort contemporáneo, lo que lo convierte en el retiro perfecto para parejas, familias y cualquiera que busque recargar energías.
Las villas privadas, muchas con sus propias piscinas de inmersión, ofrecen mucho espacio para relajarse tras un día explorando el distrito de Cayo. Los huéspedes pueden remar por el río, disfrutar del entorno natural o cenar en Humo Restaurant & Bar, donde se sirve cocina de inspiración local en un pintoresco entorno junto al río.
Su ubicación céntrica también convierte a The Banks en un excelente punto de partida para visitar yacimientos arqueológicos mayas cercanos, sistemas de cuevas, reservas naturales y otras atracciones del interior, antes de regresar a la tranquilidad del resort.
Dos formas únicas de vivir Belice
Aunque ambas propiedades están rodeadas de selva tropical, cada una ofrece una experiencia distinta.
The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant está inmerso en un espectacular paisaje montañoso, aventuras en la selva y tranquilidad junto al río, lo que lo hace ideal para viajeros que buscan una escapada auténtica a la selva tropical.
The Banks Resort ofrece un retiro más contemporáneo junto al río, con villas privadas y fácil acceso a las atracciones culturales y naturales de Belice, creando el equilibrio perfecto entre exploración y descanso.
Juntas, estas dos propiedades muestran la increíble diversidad del interior de Belice y ofrecen a los huéspedes la oportunidad de descubrir una faceta del país que muchos visitantes nunca esperan.
Descubra Belice más allá de la playa
La selva tropical de Belice está llena de experiencias que le acompañarán mucho después de que termine su viaje: desde los sonidos de las aves tropicales al amanecer hasta las noches bajo cielos estrellados junto al río.
Tanto si elige el entorno lleno de aventura de The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant como el apacible escenario junto al río de The Banks Resort, descubrirá que los mayores tesoros de Belice no se encuentran solo en la costa. A veces, le esperan en el corazón de la selva.

Qawa Ki’ché is Qʼeqchiʼ Maya and translates to God of the Jungle. This is the artists’ attempt at capturing and preserving the spirit of the iconic Sleeping Giant that The Rainforest Lodge is known for. The Maya giant is a nod to the Maya Mountains the lodge is nestled in and its surrounding communities. Ancient, revered, and adorned in jewelry, he sleeps peacefully in the jungle he created and protects.
Sculpted with a chainsaw, this piece is dedicated to womanhood and freedom. Las Tres Marias consists of 3 women sculpted out of purple heart wood. Each represents a phase of womanhood. The symbol of freedom forms part of two of the sculptures in the form of Pajaritos Que Vuelan which translates to Birds Who Fly. Ultimately, this piece may be interpreted as an individual woman achieving independence or the feminist movement acting as a catalyst for all women.
Ah Puka’An Garrobo directly translates iguana below the ground. The largest installation from the 2023 Artist in Residence program, this piece represents the spikes on the iguana’s back. Inspiration was also drawn from imagery in the poetic and beloved story The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
