Community Baboon Sanctuary Visitor Center and Museum
Home to more than 2,000 howler monkeys, over 250 bird species, and a wide array of other animals that frequent the area, Community Baboon Sanctuary Visitor Center and Museum invites you to observe fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. The sanctuary, which stretches for over 51 sq km (20 sq mi), is one of the first of its kind in the world. It came about thanks to over 200 land owners from seven villages, who pledged their land to protect the endangered monkey species. Speak to knowledgeable guides who take you through the nature preserve and teach you about the local animal and plant life. Plan your visit to Community Baboon Sanctuary Visitor Center and Museum and a wealth of other attractions, well-known and undiscovered, using our La Democracia itinerary builder tool.

This place is unlike no other. Jessie Young and her son, Conway Young, have the most incredible sanctuary with the biggest hearts. They empower the local community with knowledge and employment opportunities. The tour guides make you feel right at home and give you the experience of a lifetime full of native plant and wildlife facts! Seeing the black howler monkeys in their natural habitat was more incredible than I ever thought it would be.

Wonderful to be able to see howler monkeys and many birds in a natural habitat! I loved that it is community run and everyone was really helpful and answered questions for us

Our experience here was amazing! Robert was our guide, and we learned SO much from him. He called for the howler monkeys and one did come down to snack on a few leaves, she was beautiful! Learned a lot about the plants, ants, termites, etc along our walk. When we returned from our hike we had the great pleasure of meeting Elvis, who was working on his wood carvings which were all beautiful, so we made a few purchases. Visited with Elvis a while, then he shared his lunch of tamales with us! I love Belize!

Definitely worth the trip. Informative museum, friendly & knowledgeable staff, & up-close monkey encounters in a charming Kriol village.

We had a wonderful experience with longtime volunteer and our terrific guide, Robert. We learned about the organization, native plants and animals, and some history of Belize. And, of course, we saw some awesome wildlife.
