Шаблон:Infobox airport

Chan Chich Airstrip Шаблон:Airport codes is an airport serving the Chan Chich Lodge and the Gallon Jug Estate in the Orange Walk District of Belize. The airport is Шаблон:Convert east of the border with Guatemala.

The Belize VOR-DME (Ident: BZE) is located Шаблон:Convert east of the runway.[1]

Lodge access

The airport is the preferred means of access to the eco-lodge created by Sir Barry Bowen in the private Шаблон:Convert game park deep in the Belize rain forest, adjacent to the Rio Bravo Conservation area. Arduous tracks accessible by 4WD vehicles are the only other connections from less remote areas. Because driving to Chan Chich requires passing through private lands, access permits must be granted in advance.

The airstrip also serves the wider Gallon Jug community, including the ranch, where efforts are being made to breed a strain of cattle more suited to the tropics by cross-breeding with English Hereford bloodlines.

The lodge has been serving tourists since 1988.[2] A Mayan archeological site is near the lodge.[3]
