It was February 2014 and I left New York in a blizzard, arriving one day early for my first agritourism experience and agricultural chocolate tour in Belize. Our group was staying at the Cotton Tree Lodge in Punta Gorda, Belize. The hotel was very rustic, located right by the Moho River, surrounded by jungles.
All of our meals were served in the main lodge area. While eating dinner with some of the other guests, the hotel offered me an upgrade to the jungle cabana for the first night, until joining the rest of the chocolate tour guests. I hesitated a few moments. I had reviewed the hotel website prior to arriving and recalled reading about the infamous Jungle Cabana, located a quarter of a mile in the jungle, away from the other cabanas. Although I was extremely hesitant spending my first night in Belize alone in the middle of the jungle, I accepted the upgrade. I figured that this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to spend a night alone in the jungles of Belize – what the heck!!! That is...until the jungle came alive...
Join me as I narrate my first agritourism experience in the Central American country of Belize. And then meet two women who help manage the Cotton Tree Lodge, one of which was there in 2014 when I first visited. This trip and my night in the Jungle Cabana at Cotton Tree Lodge certainly produced memories I will never forget!
