Thatched
Restaurant/Bar |
Clarissa Falls is a pleasant recreational spot 5 minutes
from San Ignacio Town going further west on the way to Benque
Viejo off the Western Highway. Contrary to its name, Clarissa
Falls has no falls; Clarissa Rapids may be a more appropriate
name. There is a restaurant/bar where you can enjoy a refreshing
drink or have some lunch under a thatched roof in an outdoor
atmosphere surrounded by green fields and some wild life,
mainly birds.

Clarissa
Falls on the Mopan River |
Visitors can take a short walk down to the Mopan River for
a dip in its refreshing waters, or rent an inner tube and
take a hike up river in order to enjoy the rapids while
tubing down stream. There are also lodging facilities consisting
of several basic thatched-roof cabanas with modern bathroom
facilities. The complex also has camping grounds. Clarissa
Falls is an alternative to more conventional lodging available
in San Ignacio Town, while still being strategically stationed
in the heart of the West.

Dug-out
dory on the riverbank |
Going further down through the dirt road past Clarissa Falls
you can enjoy some beautiful scenic views of the Mopan River.
An unusual suspension bridge gives pedestrians access
to the small village located at the other side of the river.
Belize is full of surprises!
