Howler Monkey Sanctuary and Belize City Tour
To be a witness and get up close to the Black howler monkeys in their natural habitat is a real treat. A tour of the Community Baboon Sanctuary in Belize is the ideal activity for this incredible experience. This attraction is located about 25 miles west of Belize City in the small rural village of Bermudian Landing. This awesome initiative to protect and conserve the tropical rainforest's loudest creature found in the Belize River valley has become a huge success. Our guests get to walk through trails under the canopy of the rainforest and whilst they seek the presence of the monkeys they get to learn about many medicinal plants and trees used as herbal remedies in rural communities. The capable and knowledgeable site guide at the Sanctuary provides detailed information on the history of the sanctuary at the small museum just before you venture out to view the howler monkeys. 3 1/2 hours total is the duration of this tour including the round trip from Belize City.
