Chaa Creek is a beautiful, high-end eco-resort in the Cayo district of western Belize. It features thatched roof cabins, restaurant and bar as well as a zen-inspiring falling water swimming pool.

Upon completion of our three days of labor on the farm we were rewarded with an absolutely outstanding meal, of Garifuna origin, at the fabulous restaurant at Chaa Creek, cooked mostly with ingredients grown at our worksite.
