To be a witness and get up close to the Black howler monkeys in their natural habitat is special. A tour of the Community Baboon Sanctuary in Belize is the ideal activity for the entire family. Spot the black howler monkeys swinging and calling through the treetops. 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 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. Our guests get to meet local guides and community members dedicated to conservation as they learn about wildlife preservation and the local culture.
