Community Baboon Sanctuary and Altun Ha Maya Ruins Tour

This comprehensive adventure begins with a stress-free 8:00 AM pickup. We collect you directly from your hotel, Airbnb, the Water Taxi terminal, or the Municipal Airstrip in Belize City, whisking you away from the urban center and into the lush Belize River Valley. This tour is a curated combination of two of the country's most celebrated highlights, blending the living conservation of the Community Baboon Sanctuary with the stone legacy of the Altun Ha Maya Ruins.

Our first destination is the village of Bermudian Landing, home to the world-renowned Community Baboon Sanctuary. This is not a zoo, but a groundbreaking grassroots conservation effort where local landowners have pledged their forests to protect the Black Howler Monkey. As you walk the nature trails under the canopy, your guide—often a local expert who knows the troops by sight—will demonstrate the unique call that draws these wild primates from the treetops. Hearing the guttural roar of the Howler Monkey, one of the loudest animals on earth, and seeing them move effortlessly through the branches just feet above your head, is a visceral connection to nature you will never forget.

From the living jungle, we travel back in time to the Altun Ha Maya Ruins. This ancient trading post was once a seat of immense wealth and power. As you enter the plazas, you will explore the very ground where the famous Jade Head of the Sun God, Kinich Ahau, was discovered. You will have the opportunity to climb the Temple of the Masonry Altars, ascending the stone steps to gain a panoramic view of the surrounding rainforest—a vantage point once reserved for Maya royalty and high priests.

To complete this authentic Belizean experience, we treat you to a traditional Creole lunch that rivals the sights themselves. You will savor a plate of Rice and Beans cooked in rich coconut milk, paired with tender Stew Chicken and cool, crisp coleslaw. It is the perfect savory finish to a day spent exploring the wild roar of the jungle and the silent majesty of the temples.
