Nature & Wildlife in Belize

Travel back in time to ancient Mesoamerica with a tour of the spectacular and mysterious Lamanai ruins from Belize City. Cruise along the scenic New River to reach the secluded Mayan temples tucked into the dense jungle, and learn about the civilizations that thrived here for thousands of years while exploring sacred ceremonial sites, plazas, stone carvings and ball courts. Encounter Belize's screeching black howler monkeys and enjoy a typical buffet lunch to cap off the archaeological adventure.

Your day starts with pick up at your desired location in Belize City. You will go fishing on the New River Lagoon for about 2 hours then you will be headed to the mystical temples of Lamanai which are a must see and must do adventure while visiting Belize. Located in the Orange Walk District, along the New River Banks, Lamanai is today considered one of the longest continuously occupied site in Mesoamerica.  It was a large trading area as it has close proximity to Guatemala on the west and Mexico to the north.  After your visit to the Mayan temples, you will head back to AyinHa where a delicious lunch will be waiting for you!

Observe Belize's rowdy black howler monkeys in their native habitat with a shore excursion from Belize City to the Community Baboon Sanctuary, a unique conservation area that combines jungle, villages, and pasture. As you hike along forested trails with a guide, learn about the lifestyle and endangerment of the black howler monkey and how the sanctuary is helping protect these amazing animals in Belize, one of the few places in the world where they can be viewed in such a setting.
