Attraction Visited

Community Baboon Sanctuary

The Community Baboon Sanctuary Private Reserve is one of the easiest places in Belize to encounter black howler monkeys in the wild. Established in 1985, this baboon sanctuary was set up as a cooperative agreement among 12 local farmers and landowners in Bermudian Landing who voluntarily agreed to preserve the area’s black howler monkey habitat. They believed that a healthy population of monkeys could help support the local economy by drawing in tourism and creating jobs.

Traveler Comments

Our guide pointed out many birds and some turtles from the boat. We thought we were dressed appropriately, long sleeves, pants, socks over pants, shoes... AND used deep woods off, but when we got to the jungle, swarms of mosquitos attacked all of us and bit right through our clothes. Our backs and arms are still covered with mosquito bites. Lunch was provided by Ralph's family and was delicious, not to be missed if you go.
