ith the lowest population density in Central America, a diverse and laid-back English-speaking population, abundant rivers, numerous inland wildlife reserves, endless flats, hundreds of small islands, and the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, Belize is a travel-friendly, nature-lover’s paradise. With incredibly healthy populations of bonefish, permit, tarpon, jacks, and snook, there is enough diversity to keep even the most hardened angler captivated. Likewise, those not interested in fishing have countless options, including snorkeling, scuba diving, jungle tours, guided birding, eco-adventures, and Mayan ruin tours.

El Pescador Lodge Located on the island of Ambergris Caye, hardcore anglers and non-fishing guests alike will find a myriad of activities within easy striking distance. Bonefish, permit, snook, jacks, barracuda, and both resident and migratory tarpon are all available from El Pescador. Spectacular snorkeling, diving, and kayaking as well as eco-tour programs are available. For those who prefer to just relax, three on-site swimming pools are ready and waiting. Additionally, the charming tourist town of San Pedro is just minutes away by boat. Small groups can also take advantage of well-appointed, two- or three-bedroom private villas. El Pescador Lodge combines exceptional service, quality fishing and an abundance of exciting activities.
