Chan Chich Airstrip is in Gallon Jug, Belize.
It is the only reasonable means of access to the eco-lodge created by Sir Barry Bowen in his private game park deep in the Belize rain forest, adjacent to the Rio Bravo Conservation area. Arduous tracks accessible by 4WD vehicles are the only other connections from less remote areas.
The airstrip also serves the wider Gallon Jug community, including the ranch, where efforts are being made to breed a strain of cattle more suited to the tropics by cross-breeding with English Hereford bloodlines.
The lodge has been serving tourists since 1988.[2] A Mayan archeological site is near the lodge.[3]
