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."
