Far from the beaches of Placencia or the energy of Ambergris Caye, there’s another side of Belize: the jungle.

The destination’s rugged interior is filled with adventure — and now there’s a new way to experience it.

Adventure hotel The Lodge at Chaa Creek has debuted a new eco-destination called the Macal River Camp.

While staying at the camp has been possible for some time, this is the first time Chaa Creek is officially marketing it for travelers.

Macal River Camp is a mix of 10 “casitas,” along with a thatched-roof dining area, a kitchen, eco-showers and bathrooms, a large campfire and a canoe landing.

The camp, which was recently refurbished, contains single and double beds, with a total capacity of 52 guests.

The Juarez family are the official hosts of the camp, providing everything from home-cooked meals to maintenance and security.

“It’s a perfect example of Belizean bush hospitality,” said Robert Harrison, marketing administrator at Chaa Creek. “”It’s a great way for families, couples and groups to share an adventure while saving on accommodation, and without sacrificing any of the comforts and amenities the Lodge is known for.”

And while it’s a decidedly different experience, the Camp is just 15 minutes from the Lodge itself.

The French Caribbean island of Martinique may be most famous for its rum, but it’s now home to a new boutique brewery.

It’s called BAM, and it’s the product of the new Petite Brasserie Martiniquauise or “Little Martinique Brewery.”

The island’s new local beer, which complements the island’s existing Lorraine beer, is a blonde beer “produced under the Martinican sun,” as the company says.

It’s already available at the brewery itself and at a host of local bars from Ti Sable in Anses d’Arlet to the famous Le Petibonum in Le Carbet, among others.

The startup brewery is set in the southern coastal town of Sainte Luce.

The Caribbean’s most popular destination is getting more new flights.

Canadian travel giant Sunwing has announced plans to debut a new route from Quebec City to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic this summer.

The new weekly flight will run on Tuesdays between April 30 and Oct, 29, 2019, according to the company.

“We are excited to be returning to Quebec City’s Jean Lesage International Airport for the 12th summer in a row. As the first leisure carrier to offer summer flights from Quebec City in 2006, we are constantly striving to offer Quebecers even more ways to explore the sunny south and we believe the addition of Punta Cana to our extensive summer flight roster will be well-received.”

The new Punta Cana flights will complement returning routes including Cancun, Varadero, Cayo Coco and Puerto Plata.
