Martz Farm Treehouses & Cabanas Limited is the closest lodge for people visiting BIB and looking for a nearby Gold Standard Certified place to stay during their visit.

Joe and Miriam Martinez offer warm Belizean hospitality, hosting at their family-oriented outdoor adventure lodge with delicious home cooking served family-style. Meals feature hand-made fresh tortillas, breads and pastries straight from Miriam’s kitchen.

If you’re looking for adventure, you’ll enjoy their small, intimate pontoon boat outings with swimming and picnics, horseback riding, and caving.

They’ll also arrange adventures further afield – ATM, Crystal Cave and Barton Creek – if you want, plus country-wide shuttle services. Martz Farm prices are competitive, and they’re just two miles down the road toward Benque.
