Hurricane Dean passes Belize

Hurricane Dean passed through the Yucatan Region and Belize earlier this week and we are all so relieved that so far no lives were claimed by this monstrous Category 5 Hurricane. As you can see from the picture it covered a large area of Central America as it passed through.

Fortunately the center of Belize, Belmopan, and the Cayo District received no damage and in fact if it was not for the news we would never have known there was a hurricane in the region.

Many Thanks to all who sent their best wishes and kind words to the Belize Jungle Dome on the day before it hit our area. We appreciate that some of our previous guests were concerned for our welfare. Needless to say we wish all in the North of Belize and Mexico a speedy recovery and hope that life can return to normal as soon as possible.

La Ruta Maya Canoe Race in Belize

The tenth annual La Ruta Maya River Challenge -- the longest canoe race in Central America - will take to the river from March 8th - 11th, 2007

Beginning in the scenic foothills of the Maya Mountains and finishing in the bustling port city of Belize City, the race will travel from West to East along the historic river trail of the Macal and Belize Rivers. Once the only link between the two coasts, these tributaries served as a major trading route for Belize's once powerful Mayan civilization. Today, the La Ruta Maya River trail still follows in the footsteps of its legendary past with a route of lush, unspoiled landscapes lined with exotic flora and fauna.

In addition to being hailed as Belize's most competitive sporting event, La Ruta Maya River Challenge is also one of the country's largest collaborative conservation efforts. Held in the spirit of preservation and revitalization of Belize's precious waterways, the La Ruta Maya will donate all proceeds to local environmental groups that help sustain and keep the river clean.

La Ruta Maya Canoe race passes by the front door of the Belize Jungle Dome and makes camp for the first stopover night on the river Bank next to the Lodge. Availability for a 3 Night minimum stay is still available to view the spectacular start of the second days racing. Contact Belize Jungle Dome on 501 (Belize country code) 822 2124 or email at info@greendragonbelize.com.

For more information on the race, please contact race headquarters at 501-824-2444, or contact the Belize Tourism Board at 501-223-1913, www.travelbelize.org.

Belize Guest Comments from Denise Purcell and Neil

What can we say. You define HOSPITALITY!

We've done tons of traveling over the years but have never enjoyed staying anywhere before. We're usually on the move and use the hotel / lodge as a place to sleep before setting off for the day.

This is the first time we've looked forward to returning at the end of the day. We leave with mixed feelings because we will miss all of you (Belize Jungle Dome).

We didn't meet the owners and the staff, we shared a special place in the world with family. The country is a beautiful one, that goes without saying. But of all the things and places we have seen and done, what we will remember most is you.

Good luck and good life

Belize Guest Comments from Barbara Greives and Kim Lucier, Yakima, Washington, USA

This has been an experience of a lifetime!

Words will never be able to describe just how much fun we've had these past few days. It's been an amazing vacation for both Mom and I. We're both sorry we have to say farewell tomorrow. We truly don't want to leave.

Andy, Simone and the entire staff have gone out of their way to make sure we've stayed comfortable - and the hospitality has gone beyond amazing. The food is delectable - yummy!


Be sure to ask for Gonzo and/or Carlos as your Tour Guides. They're both a riot. We hope to see you all again soon.
