The Tropical Education Center was developed on the premise that immersive environmental education and nature appreciation are fundamental to wildlife conservation, and therefore provides tourists, students, and researchers the opportunity to lodge in the “wild” lowland savanna environment of the Maya Forest Corridor.

The TEC is a 30 minute drive from the Philip Goldson International Airport, and is half way between Belize City and Belmopan.

The main building is equipped with a dining hall, air-conditioned conference room, library, and birding deck.

Our “Savanna Castle” includes comfortable dormitory style accommodations with bunk beds and a screened in common area. All rooms have 110V outlets, ceiling or standing fans, and fresh linens and towels.

The dormitories can host up to 38 guests at full capacity. Room sizes vary from one bed to eight. Hot and cold showers, restrooms, and handwashing basins are located in buildings adjacent to the dormitories.

Each forest cabaña is on a raised platform, fully screened and equipped with a full size bed or two twin size beds complete with linens and towels. This is ideal for travelers seeking that “jungly” experience. A shared shower and restroom facility for the cabañas is located nearby.

The Pine Cabin has five air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, and a shared screened-in verandah/common area. The bed configuration in the rooms are either double beds or a double bed and bunk bed.

Our family sized pond houses are equipped with private bathrooms, kitchenette, spacious screened in verandahs, and are nestled along the edges of the freshwater pond at the TEC.

This guest house is set back from the TEC pond, and is raised off the ground, giving you the feel of being in the forest canopy. Private parking underneath the Casita is available to guests.
