Did you know pumas are the only big cats you’ll find in Belize that actually have the ability to purr? It’s unlikely to have a one-on-one encounter like that outside of the best little zoo in the world, but you never know what lies within the Mountain Pine Ridge in Belize. And with quaint lodgings in a woodsier environment, the sound of migratory birds and the buzz of cicadas make for an ever-changing background score where the star attraction is the outdoors. Spread across 7,200 private acres of pine forest amid the dramatic wilderness, this eco-lodge property makes you neighbors with wildlife, including but limited to the likes of Pumas and the ruler of the Underworld, the Jaguar. Here’s how you can get 30% off your stay at Hidden Valley Inn, plus a free tour, in Belize.

Besides lower flight prices — predicted to drop up to 25% in August by Hopper — to Belize, the fabulous weather and off-the-beaten-path experiences are enough to convince you of a jaunt to Belize. There are fewer crowds in this shoulder season, which means you’re beating the snowbirds to all of Belize’s most popular attractions, sans queues.
And although August to September is within Belize’s rainy season, there are benefits to that too — especially when you’re staying on a private forest reserve like Hidden Valley. Woodland creatures can be spotted far more frequently when it’s raining, which means your chances of seeing a jaguar in the wild just graduated from imprints in mud only.
These rich red clay pathways lead you through a spectacular landscape riddled with awe-inspiring waterfalls. At this time of year, you’re sure to have it all to yourself. And if you’re a birder, you can count on all the resident birds as well as those in transit before peak migration. With a free sunset/sunrise birding tour or night walk for CCL readers, keep feathered beauties like the Acord Woodpecker and Pine Siskin on your must-sight list!
