The Property accounts for a large region of land, generally described as being located in the southeast corner of the Corozal District, just south of where the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico greets the Caribbean Sea. Both the Northern and Southern Bulkhead areas are located on the property and the coastal waters offshore of the property are often referred to as part of the “Belizean Riviera.” Major coastal lagoons such as Bennett’s Lagoon and Spanish Pt. Lagoon are easily identifiable on almost any Belize country map.

The Property is situated near a number of communities and other identifiable areas in this region, which include (* indicates a community with available services and resources located nearby Balam Jungle):

Shipstern Lagoon & Shipstern Nature Reserve

This area is a stunningly beautiful area of northern Belize found just a few kilometers north of Balam Jungle’s northern boundary. Shipstern is connected to Balam Jungle through the Corozalito waterways, which are a labyrinth of breathtaking canals perfect for fulfilling every canoer’s fantasy. The 22,000-acre Shipstern Nature Reserve boasts three different northern hardwood forests, along with savannah, and mangrove habitats all similar to what you can find on the Balam Jungle Estates.

Fireburn

The small community of Fireburn is located approximately 6km north of the property’s northern boundary. The community will be expanding with the recent nearby discovery of one of the largest Mayan Ruin sites in all of Northern Belize.

*Little Belize

This town boarders the property to the North-west (located at 18N, 88W). The population is almost entirely Mennonite and according to the 2000 census, Little Belize had a population of 2,059 people. The Mennonites who live there are renowned for their uncanny work ethic, which has converted the rural area into a neat, highly productive farmland. They fully participate in the Belizean economy and provide indispensable services and products to the surrounding areas in the region. The Mennonites of Little Belize are more traditional than other Mennonite divisions found in the country and commute using horse-drawn buggies, while refraining from using modern farm equipment.
