We are Ecorana Environmental, an eco-travel and environmental education company that specializes in creating and planning applied learning holidays for students, researchers, and ecotourists alike. Our team consists of travel and outreach specialists as well as research biologists and teachers who specialize in environmental education and conservation. We are well-versed in providing comfortable, safe, and exciting learning and travel opportunities to a range of clientele interested in environmentally and culturally conscious travel.Ecorana is poised to offer travel and education abroad opportunities in the diverse tropical country of Belize. Ecorana employs biologists who are well-trained in tropical ecology, herpetology, and ornithology, and as such, studies in tropical biology are the primary focus of our educational holidays. However, our team’s diverse interests and expertise allow us to plan all types of holidays ranging from wildlife ecotours to yoga retreats to West African drumming courses to ecological field technique courses. Wherever your interests lie, you can be guaranteed that Ecorana will be right there with you.Ecorana maintains values of environmental and cultural conservation and stewardship, hands-on education, and inclusive learning, and seeks to instill those values in all visitors to Belize. We work with many field stations and educational centers, scientists, educators, tour companies, tour guides, eco-lodges, and parks, both on the mainland and on the islands of Belize, to make sure you go exactly where you want to go and see exactly what you want to see and more!

One of our main partners is the Toucan Ridge Ecology and Education Society (T.R.E.E.S) and their field station in Belize. The objectives of this environmental education center are to host various cultural and environmental based student courses, workshops and event hosting in the heart of the beautiful Maya Mountains of Belize. We plan on providing our services to international students as well as providing opportunities for Belizean students.

butterfly


The big issue right now is that we do not have all of the appropriate field guides for Belize, some apparently we will have to do ourselves!!! This really neat owl eyes butterfly mimic was in our house this week, beautiful little creature!

The house




Ok, now that we can move into our house, we find that there is much work to be done!!! We will need to start by painting the place inside and out, add a tile floor inside and get kitchen counters and the bathroom remodeled!

Arriving in Belize



Hello to all of our followers, we have already been here for three weeks, time sure flies when you are having fun! In the last few weeks, we have stayed at Beautiful Cave`s Branch Jungle Lodge while we have been slowly trying to organize ourselves and move into our house! From there we will be able to really start building the infrastructure for the project!

Our first task was to bring a new caretaker house to the property, in order to move the caretaker from the main house into this new house. It so happens that he has decided not to stay with us after all but at least we have this house whenever we find a new caretaker that wants to stay on the property and help us with the project!
