Embora Belize seja conhecida por seu litoral caribenho, as paisagens do interior do país oferecem um tipo de aventura totalmente diferente. Florestas tropicais imponentes, rios sinuosos, antigos templos maias e vida selvagem criam um destino tão memorável quanto a praia.
Para viajantes que desejam vivenciar a beleza natural de Belize, a The Belize Collection oferece dois refúgios na selva: The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant e The Banks Resort. Cada um oferece sua própria perspectiva da floresta tropical, ao mesmo tempo em que compartilha experiências que definem a The Belize Collection.
The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant
Situado aos pés das Montanhas Maias e cercado por uma exuberante floresta tropical, o The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant é um lugar onde a natureza ocupa o centro do palco. O cenário tranquilo às margens do Rio Sibun facilita desacelerar, seja tomando café com o canto dos pássaros ao fundo ou relaxando após um dia de exploração.
O lodge é uma base ideal para descobrir algumas das aventuras no interior mais populares de Belize. Os hóspedes podem fazer trilhas na selva, andar de caiaque no rio, explorar cavernas e cachoeiras ou aproveitar passeios a cavalo no The Stables. Para uma noite verdadeiramente memorável, o Dinner on the Cliff combina belas vistas da floresta tropical com uma experiência gastronômica excepcional.
Seja com dias repletos de aventura ou com momentos tranquilos em uma rede.
The Banks Resort
Localizado nos arredores de Belmopan, o The Banks Resort oferece uma proposta diferente de experiência na selva. Aninhado às margens do Rio Belize, o resort combina arredores tranquilos com conforto contemporâneo, tornando-se um refúgio perfeito para casais, famílias e qualquer pessoa que queira recarregar as energias.
Vilas privativas, muitas com suas próprias piscinas de imersão, oferecem bastante espaço para relaxar após um dia explorando o Distrito de Cayo. Os hóspedes podem remar ao longo do rio, aproveitar o entorno natural ou jantar no Humo Restaurant & Bar, onde a culinária inspirada em ingredientes locais é servida em um cenário cênico à beira do rio.
Sua localização central também faz do The Banks um excelente ponto de partida para visitar sítios arqueológicos maias próximos, sistemas de cavernas, reservas naturais e outras atrações do interior, antes de retornar à tranquilidade do resort.
Duas Maneiras Únicas de Vivenciar Belize
Embora ambas as propriedades sejam cercadas por floresta tropical, cada uma oferece uma experiência distinta.
O The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant está imerso em uma paisagem montanhosa dramática, aventuras na selva e tranquilidade à beira do rio, sendo ideal para viajantes que buscam uma escapada autêntica na floresta tropical.
O The Banks Resort oferece um refúgio mais contemporâneo à beira do rio, com vilas privativas e fácil acesso às atrações culturais e naturais de Belize, criando o equilíbrio perfeito entre exploração e relaxamento.
Juntas, essas duas propriedades mostram a incrível diversidade do interior de Belize e oferecem aos hóspedes a chance de vivenciar um lado do país que muitos visitantes nunca esperam.
Descubra Belize Além da Praia
A floresta tropical de Belize é repleta de experiências que permanecem com você muito depois do fim da viagem — dos sons de pássaros tropicais ao nascer do sol às noites passadas sob céus estrelados à beira do rio.
Seja escolhendo os arredores cheios de aventura do The Rainforest Lodge at Sleeping Giant ou o cenário tranquilo à beira do rio do The Banks Resort, você descobrirá que os maiores tesouros de Belize não estão apenas ao longo da costa. Às vezes, eles estão esperando no coração da 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.
