Five Sisters Lodge - Belize
In the heart of

the five water falls below the lodge which are named “The Five Sisters Falls”.
The sounds of the cascading falls are always present here, which adds to the tranquil and relaxing atmosphere
found at the lodge.

nature lovers. Being situated on ten acres of privately titled land in the midst of the national reserve, you can truly get
away from it all here. The location is ideal for anyone interested in exploring the region, including Caracol, the ruins of Belize's largest Maya city. The visitor will also enjoy lounging in their hammock, or sitting on the deck enjoying
