Howler Monkey Sanctuary & Community Engagement

Village Discovery: Get ready for a local village guide to greet you at the Community Baboon Sanctuary. This location was founded in 1985 by Dr. Robert Horwich, a primatologist, along with Dr. John Lyon, Fallet Young, and 12 other families. The guides will share details of how this creole village became a sanctuary for howler monkeys. Discover their use of medicinal plants, check out traditional homes, and see how locals thrive in Belize. Dive into hands-on activities like rice beating and flybrush making at the visitor center. Plus, explore cool exhibits about baboons and creole culture.

Black Howler Monkey Adventure: Travel to a local creole village just an hour from the ship terminal. Here, you will have the opportunity to see the Black Howler Monkey (locally known as the "Baboon") in their natural rainforest setting protected in a sustainable environment. This property offers a trail to explore the jungle in search of the troops of these amazing mammals. Your guide will play some tricks to call the monkeys and get them closer to you. Have your camera ready, they’re quick!
