Overview of your Belize City tour:

Nestled along Belize River Valley's lush banks (Bermudian Landing), the Community Baboon Sanctuary (CBS) is a pioneering conservation project dedicated to preserving Yucatán black howler monkey's habitat, locally known as the "baboon". Beyond its ecological significance, it's a cultural treasure intertwined with Belize's Creole heritage. It spans over 5,000 has, encompassing 7 villages, where Creole traditions thrive through storytelling, cuisine & music. Established in 1985 by Dr. Robert Horwich & supported by local landowners, CBS was founded on a revolutionary concept: community-driven conservation. Through voluntary pledges, landowners agreed to protect forested areas, ensuring the monkeys's survival while promoting sustainable land use & ecotourism. On this tour you'll not only experience the howler monkeys' mesmerizing calls but also Belize River Valley's history & culture, plus learn about reforestation projects, medicinal plants, sustainable land practices & farming wildlife protection initiatives.
