Title:Jaguar Paw Jungle Resort   -   http://www.jaguarpaw.com
Description:Cave Tubing, Jungle Canopy Zip Line, Butterfly Farm, Zorbing Down Hill inside a 11 foot ball and so much more to do.
Jaguar Paw is full of surprises. It suddenly appears like a mirage among the fan palms and tropical flowers at the bottom of a steep, rocky road.. The architectural motif of the main building and its satellites is Mayan, of course, with bas relief of god heads on the exterior walls. But would you expect a spectacular dining room and bar with 25-foot ceilings and a water wall waiting there for you in the middle of the jungle? Or would you expect to find guest rooms uniquely decorated with such novelties as lace shower curtains, puppets on the ceiling, or furnishings made from the stones and trees of the jungle itself? Or how about a pristine swimming pool awaiting the moonlight swimmer?

Equally surprising is that when a new morning begins, so do the adventures. On the 200-acres of Jaguar Paw are the mouths of three awesome caves with vestiges of their use by Mayan ancestors. With guests in boats or wearing inner tubes experienced guides lead the way through the labyrinth of waterways connecting the caves. But without getting their feet wet guests aided by a knowledgeable guide can stalk the jungle paths for signs of wild animals, to spot some of the more than 500 species of birds, to recognize the medicinal herbs, and to hear about the jungle ghosts from the Belizean Bushmen who believe in them. And, not far in either direction from the resort are ancient ruins awaiting exploration.

Three years in the making, Jaguar Paw was opened in late January by Donna Young, a former food and beverage manager, and Cy Young, a businessman. "We don't believe that people who love the jungle have to live like Tarzan and Jane to enjoy their adventure," says Donna Young. "We're betting that after a strenuous day our guests will want perhaps a cool drink, a hot shower, a good gourmet meal, and comfortable bed."

If you have just checked in and wish to acclimate yourself to the facility, a hundred yard walk on the road you just came in on will take you to the Caves Branch River and the mouth of one of our smaller caves. Don't be afraid of the dark, at night the cave is subtly illuminated providing a romantic setting for a late night dip.

If you follow the walkway to the right of the main building, you will find our aviary and gift shop just past the swimming pool. A further walk past the pool just ten minutes beyond our employee quarters, a jungle path will lead you to one of the largest and most spectacular caves in Belize. We also have nine miles of trails varying in degrees of difficulty, so please consult with the front desk before exploring these on your own.
