The Cayo District of Belize is well known for its abundant bird life
There have been over 300 species recorded within a 5-miles radius of duPlooy’s Jungle Lodge and Belize Botanic Gardens. And that, for the most part, is where our Fun Birding Tours in Belize are based. With easy access to river, field, pond, forest and mountain habitat, and excellent Belizean bird guides to help us, you’ll be sure to add to your life list. And with comfortable surroundings, great food and life birds right off your porch or the canopy bar, there’s no better way to do it - it’s forest birding at its civilized best!
Civilized birding from duPlooy’s canopy bar deck
Belize is a politically safe, English speaking destination in Central America, just south of Mexico on the Caribbean Sea. Rich in Mayan culture and with fabulous temple sites, it is popular with eco-tourists, particularly from the USA due to its easy access (just a two and a half hour direct flight from Houston or three hours from Dallas/Forth Worth). Importantly for us at Fun Birding Tours, not only is duPlooy’s a comfortable and fun place to stay, they have probably the best environmental standards of any lodge in the region (duPlooy’s environmental message). On this subject, please note that duPlooy’s does not have air conditioning.

The birding and wildlife watching on the duPlooy’s property itself and adjacent Belize Botanic Garden (founded and run by the duPlooy family) is truly oustanding. For more information about birding at duPlooy’s and around Belize, see their extensive birding section.
