Mejen Tzil Lodge, 520-3032, isaqui@btl.net, $, has a row of rooms with a shared porch. The rooms are basic but, again, clean and comfortable. None offers a private bathroom; the toilet is an outhouse. You can get meals here even if you re not a paying guest. The H men Herbal Center and Medicine Trail is on Nu uk Che l Cottages grounds and you can walk it for US $2. The lodge supplies a handout so you can guide yourself. Alternate attractions include Maya spiritual healing prayers, acupuncture, a snake doctor, chiropractor, midwife connecting flights and herbal doctor. You can learn a lot by speaking with these people. There is also a gift shop at the center.
The station s fish preservation program, connecting flights under the leadership of Belizean scientist Dr. Charles Acosta, connecting flights has been (in my opinion) hugely successful. The theory to begin with was that if an area was left to its own devices with no fishing/harvesting permitted, fish numbers would increase. Within a short period of time, the no- touch area s conch and lobster increased in number. So did the fish. When the area got crowded, some fish moved over to the unprotected area. This in turn resulted in increased catches for fishers and made tourists happy because they started seeing more marine life.
