A great base for adventure activities
Along the Macal River's edge, Black Rock Lodge offers breathtaking panoramas of the nearby Black Rock Canyon, creating an idyllic off-grid sanctuary.
Tucked away in the lush rainforest of western Belize, this eco-conscious jungle retreat sits approximately two-and-a-half hours west of Belize City. Guests are housed in individual cabins scattered across the verdant grounds, adorned simply with local artistry. Each cabin features a private bathroom, veranda, and hammock, providing a serene spot to admire the limestone cliffs, tropical foliage, and tranquil river.
Dining at the lodge is a treat, with delectable meals crafted from organic ingredients sourced directly from the onsite farm and served in the charming open-air dining area.
Adventure-seekers will find plenty to do, with a range of activities offered, including excursions to iconic sites like the Mayan ruins of Caracol and the ATM Caves. The lodge's knowledgeable guides enrich each experience with insights into the region's history and culture. For a more leisurely pace, guests can explore hiking trails, engage in birdwatching, enjoy horseback riding, or partake in gentle river-tubing. A refreshing dip in the small pool awaits to cool off after a day of exploration.
At the heart of their sustainable tourism operation, the lodge uses solar panels and hydro-power electricity.

January
January is dry season with prolonged periods of sunshine, particularly in the north and central regions. A great time to travel which means the country will be busy, so we recommend planning in advance.
February
Similar to February with great weather and very little rain its one of the best months to travel throughout the region.
March
The dry season continues, with low humidity so another great month to explore all regions of Belize and relax on beautiful Caribbean beaches.
April
In April the weather in the Cayo District and on the Cayes remains predominantly dry, although the heat and humidity gradually increases. Easter is a busy time, so booking in advance is essential.
May
Very similar to April, although there are less visitors and there may be the occassional shower with the start of the wet season approaching.
June
The rains start however most days are usually short sharp showers in the afternoon and early evening. Perrsistent rainfall is rare. Mid-June is the start of lobster season and a great time to sample the dish along the country's coast in destinations like Ambergris Caye and Placencia.
July
Very similar to July, with a similar amount of rain combined with sunshine. Most destinations will be warm with a high level of humidity.
August
The height of the rainy season with high humidity, heavy rain and the risk of tropical storms and even hurricanes. These are particularly prevalent in the coastal regions.
September
Another wet month and not very enjoyable for travel with some remote roads flooded. Due to a low number of visitors at this time, some lodges and hotels will close for annual maintenance.
October
Rainy conditions continue with wet days, high humidity and generally not the ideal time to visit and enjoy Belize.
November
The wet season and humidity are easing off with drier days on the horizon. This is a good time to visit the interior and coast before tourist numbers increase in December.
December
A great time to travel to Belize with sunny, dry days although hotels over the Christmas & New Year break will often be booked for months in advance.
