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.

    We didn't know what to expect, but had a fun experience here. The monkeys (howler monkeys) we're so close you could have touched them (although not allowed to). If you enjoy seeing them in their natural habitat, this is for you.
  • By Israel Valdez On August 19, 2018
    It's sure was a beautiful experience seeing the animals living in the community.
  • By Emy Quintanilla On March 10, 2018
    Definitely a must while in Belize. Guides were very informative and forth coming with information. Wonderful experience, especially for children. Tour includes a hike in nature and if brave; a face to face with wild howler monkeys.

    Looking for an adventure? This is the place to be. Located in Bermudian Landing. Belize Rural, North. Just ask for Shane Baizar.
