is a small, intimate jungle resort with its own Botanic Gardens adjacent
to the Lodge. (The Botanic Gardens include an orchid house with
over 300 individual plants and 120 species of identified orchids.)
DuPlooy's offers a wide variety of activities including guided Mayan
ruins tours, canoeing, horseback riding, jungle hiking, caving and
birding. (Over 300 species of birds have been identified within a
5-mile radius of duPlooy's and duPlooy's has its own resident birding
guide, Philip Mai.)
 DuPlooy's is one of the most comfortable -- and most
ecologically balanced jungle lodges in Belize.
Re-cycling and composting are ways of life here, and no beef
is served because of the devastating effects of cattle
ranching on the jungle and rainforest environment.
Beverages in plastic containers are not served, so no diet
sodas (which only come in plastic containers in Belize).
 The
Belize Botanic Gardens next door (owned and operated by DuPlooy's)
provide DuPlooy's guests with beauty and education about the
tropical and subtropical environments of Belize.
The BBG
is a member of the Botanic Gardens, Conservation International,
and a Native Orchids House, a collection of increasingly rare (and
threatened) native Mayan plants, displays of native Belizean palms
and blooming plants, a fire tower, and re-creations of
the
Mountain Pine Ridge, Savanna, Wetland and Rainforest
habitats founds in Belize.
Upper-moderate price tier.
