Hidden Valley isn’t your typical luxury lodge—it’s a 7,200-acre private reserve as committed to green travel as it is ensuring guest stays are as memorable as possible. Here, the philosophy is simple: provide a first-class experience that treads lightly on the land. The lodge’s cottages and villas blend seamlessly into the landscape. You’ll wake up to the gentle sounds of nature all while enjoying thoughtful amenities made to elevate your stay.

Chase Hidden Waterfalls

King Vulture Falls

Beyond the lush accommodations, Hidden Valley Wilderness Lodge is the perfect base for all things nature travel, which includes hiking, biking, and of course, waterfall chasing. The lodge’s private reserve is crisscrossed with hiking trails that lead to some of Belize’s most stunning and secluded cascades. Among them is Butterfly Falls, a breathtaking waterfall that feels straight out of a dream, nestled deep within the forest and accessible only to lodge guests. Not only is Butterfly Falls an ideal spot for a quiet swim or an unforgettable picnic, but it has been the site of many a proposal (and quite a few weddings, too).

There’s also King Vulture Falls, named for the rare and majestic birds often spotted soaring above. This powerful cascade tumbles over rugged cliffs, offering an awe-inspiring backdrop for those picture-perfect moments. Book a guided waterfall trek and enjoy the sights, sounds, and tranquility of it all while gaining plenty of insight from your trained guide. 

For the extra adventurous, embark on a one-hour hike through the Cascade trail. Flanked by lush fauna, this quiet and moderate trail is dotted with rushing waterfalls of all sizes as well as plenty of wooden bridges, stairs, and refreshing pools.
