A Black Howler Monkey Sanctuary in Belize
Established on February 23rd, 1985, the Community Baboon Sanctuary (CBS) is a sanctuary for black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra) located on the northern coastal plain of Belize.
The Community Baboon Sanctuary is unlike any other protected area, wildlife sanctuary, or ecotourism activity in Belize. Its operations are fully integrated into the seven Belize River Valley communities that make it up, and it is deeply connected to the Kriol culture and history of the region.
Our trained, licensed local guides offer a range of tours here at the Community Baboon Sanctuary. For the casual visitor there are wonderful nature hikes where you can expect to experience Black Howler Monkeys firsthand, wonder at the majesty of the rainforest, and learn about traditional rainforest medicine.
The more adventurous can enjoy night tours through the rainforest, where you’ll be able to experience the local wildlife when it’s most active. Or take a river tour in search of crocodiles, monkeys, and a host of other wildlife.
Take a trip through history and down the Belize River where you will do as our ancestors and the Maya people did often as they moved from the coast to inland Belize.
Paddle away into the night on the lazy Mussel Creek to look for the elusive Morlet Crocodile. This is a great opportunity to see these living dinosaurs when they are most active in their natural habitat.
Birding with experienced guides starts at 5:00 am. There are over 125 species of birds found along the Belize River and Mussel Creek and in the forest, especially during the months of December – June.
Visiting the CBS with a group and want to learn more about the Creole people and culture? We can help you with that. Our community can make put together a series of cultural presentations which include task and activities of our culture such as Rice beating and fanning, cashew seed roasting and breaking, and more
