The La Milpa Field Station lies nestled deep in the forests of northwestern Belize.  This field station is located only three miles from the third largest archaeological site in Belize.  The La Milpa Archaeological Site is only one of at least sixty other archaeological sites found on the Rio Bravo.  Serving as a base for two long-term archaeological projects, the La Milpa Field Station has evolved as the center of archaeological research on the Rio Bravo.  Guests visiting the La Milpa Field Station experience firsthand the rich history of the Maya Civilization.

For accommodations, guests can choose between charmingly rustic and private thatched-roof cabanas with private baths, and a comfortable and tastefully decorated dormitory featuring state-of-the-art ‘green’ technology with shared baths.  Hiking nature trails, jungle trekking and birding are the order of the day at La Milpa.  Spend a day in the nearby Mestizo and Mennonite villages for a taste of Belizean culture.  Tour breathtaking and majestic ancient Maya sites.  Avid birders can compile a list of more than 150 species during a three day trip to our La Milpa venue.
