Itinerary

  1. Altun Ha & The Olde Belize River

  2. Community Baboon Sanctuary

    one hour Admission included

    Founded in 1985 the aim of the sanctuary was to show farmers in the area that protecting the habitat of the Black Howler Monkey could bring sustainability to the village. Your guide will show you the monkeys up close as they scamper across rope suspensions bridges throughout the village.
