Escape from the Gray...

to Three Days in Sunny Belize

Dreaming of an escape to a tropical paradise?

Dear PathFinder Reader,

Those slate-gray days of northern winter…chilly, if not downright frigid…seem to be dragging on forever. The warm days of summer are still months away. A bad case of cabin fever … talk about depressing.

Nobody's going to blame you for dreaming of an escape to a tropical paradise.

So, why just dream about it?

Our friends at Orchid Bay, Belize, have put together an irresistible three-day escape from the gray:  April 18 – 20 they're inviting you to dump those winter doldrums and experience this tropical jewel on the western edge of the Caribbean in a way that few tourists ever do.

This long weekend is designed to provide an insider's view of Belize's diverse natural beauty and rich culture…from its jungle interior of rainforests, waterfalls and Mayan ruins…to the turquoise water and inviting white-sand beaches along its coast.

Attendees are responsible for making their own flight arrangements to and from Belize City after which your hosts will provide all of your tour-related transportation, meals, and accommodation for just $299.

There will be plenty of opportunities to savor Belize's tantalizing beauty and lifestyle, including a pig roast on the beach at Orchid Bay …a sunrise tour of the Mayan ruin at Cahal Pech…and sightseeing stops in the mountainous sub-tropical jungle and dramatic river valleys of the country's Cayo District.

You'll also have access to the experts on Belize's history, law, and property ownership, and be among the first to see the developer's newest project, Casa Cahal Pech Condominiums.

To reserve your spot on February's Orchid Bay tour, write us at tours@pathfinderinternational.net.

For a preview of Orchid Bay -- and to see why Belize has become one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the Caribbean -- take a look at the article below.

I have little doubt it will leave you eager to plan your escape from the gray today.

Orchid Bay a Conservation Community in Belize

Orchid Bay will include exquisite bay-front and bay-view homes, village homes, cottage homes, and three-story townhouse condominiums.

Dear PathFinder Reader,

Orchid Bay is one of the most idyllic and innovative New Urbanist communities ever conceived …a gentle footprint in the tranquil, tropical nation of Belize.

With the turquoise Caribbean lapping on its shores, Orchid Bay offers serenity and security rarely found in today's world. Residents here will live in a small-town environment, while enjoying numerous recreational activities. The town center is centrally located and only a five-minute leisurely walk from any home site.

Orchid Bay is an enchanting waterfront village with 115 acres of protected forests and 1.5 miles of coastline, and is conveniently located j ust 10 miles from Belize's Northern Highway, offering easy access to services and activities throughout Southern Mexico and Northern Belize. The Northern Highway extends south to the International Airport in Belize City and north to the Mexican Riviera. Orchid Bay is secluded, but not isolated. 

Orchid Bay's assortment of home designs combine modern elegance with environmentally-sensitive features. Home sites are carefully prepared to save as many trees as possible. As a conservation community, 45 percent of Orchid Bay is set aside as green space. When property set-back requirements are added, the total green space is closer to 60 percent.

The community plan includes sumptuous restaurants, boutique retail shops, and convenient services -- all within the central plaza. The Orchid Bay Beach Club will have rental casitas, a restaurant, bar, and swimming pools. An equestrian center and fields are also included in the community design.

Orchid Bay will include exquisite bay-front and bay-view homes, village homes, cottage homes, and three-story townhouse condominiums. The price of top-quality home construction for lot buyers will be as low as $75 to $100 per square foot. With lots running from just $39,000 to $149,000, this equates to total construction costs for an elegant resort home ranging from less than $100,000, upwards to $500,000, depending upon the modifications you choose.

Contact us today for more information on how you can join the Orchid Bay community and own a piece of paradise in Mother Nature's best kept secret -- Belize.
