Cayo Defines Ecotourism

Cayo Defines Ecotourism | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Chaa Creek was just picked as one of the 4 best eco-lodges that is within a short flight time from the United States.  The Salon.com article highlights their emphasis on ecology, preservation of biodiversity, and humanitarianism, while still being top notch.  They mention glamping at their Macal River Camp too.  Cayo wins again.  Congratulations, Chaa Creek!

 

"The Lodge at Chaa Creek allows guests a wide range of luxurious sleeping accommodations, from 'glamping' (glamorous camping, of course) in 10 well-appointed camp casitas on the Macal River to luxe tree-top suites with private Jacuzzis.  Guests can explore 365 acres of private nature reserve on foot, horseback, and canoe.  There aren’t many properties where visitors can pamper themselves in the spa, eat an organic Creole inspired breakfast, then learn about indigenous healing plants from a Maya tour guide, all before noon, but Chaa Creek does just that and they’ve done it with personality and attention to detail since 1981."

Mind-Blowing Glamping in Cayo

Mind-Blowing Glamping in Cayo | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Chaa Creek was mentioned in oyster.com's top 5 list for 'mind-blowing' retreats.  The article mentions glamping, a term which is becoming well known, at CC's Macal River Camp.

 

"The budget-friendly Macal River Camp at Chaa Creek takes camping to a whole new level — specifically, the 'glamping' (translation: glamorous camping) level.  Guests stay in tents lit only by the flickering glow of a gas lamp at night, and can fall asleep to a chorus of howler monkeys and cicadas."

Chaa Creek gets a great review!  Glamourous Camping = Glamping.

 

"When I originally made reservations to stay in Chaa Creek, I chose to stay at Macal River Camp for our whole stay. Knowing my kids, they would absolutely love camping and roughing it (to some degree). However, after a lot of communication with Lorenzo from Chaa Creek, we decided to spend half our time at the main eco lodge and the other half camping."

Glamp Like a Champ at Macal River Camp

Glamp Like a Champ at Macal River Camp | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Macal River Camp at Chaa Creek was listed in Oyster.com's top 5 list for places at which to glamp.  Glamping, glamorous camping, might sound silly, but it's just another niche for travelers who want a rustic experience without having to rough it too much.  Cayo is the place for camping...and now glamping.

 

"This collection of canvas-roofed tents is located on the grounds of the luxurious Lodge at Chaa Creek, and guests at the camp are welcome to use the lodge facilities, such as the swimming pool.  But the tents allow guests to truly feel alone in the jungle.  There is no electricity, and after dark, the tents are lit by the glow of flickering gas lamps.  At night, guests can fall asleep listening to the cicadas and the chorus of howler monkeys.  Bathrooms and showers are shared, excellent meals are served in the thatched-roof dining area, and campfires are lit on chilly evenings."

Ka'ana's glamping package, where guests stay on a Mayan ruin in a luxury tent, is mentioned on Elite Traveler.  Sounds like quite the experience.

 

"Ka'ana Belize's Yaxha Overnight Experience is an exciting new package that affords adventure seekers the rare opportunity to spend the night on an ancient Maya ruin just past the Guatemalan border in a luxury tent, without having to sacrifice the comfort and amenities of a luxury resort."
