Day Trip

monkey is an endangered species found in
Belize, southern Mexico, and isolated
areas of Guatemala. A visitor center at
the 20-square mile sanctuary features an
educational jungle exhibit. Hiking trails

walks allow visitors to experience monkeys
up close. Canoe trips down the river to
see monkeys, birds, and other wildlife
such as iguanas, crocodiles, anteaters and
turtles, can be arranged at the visitor
center. This site is unique as it is the
community of Burrell Boom that is
responsible for all aspects of its’
daily operations. This site is excellent
for those that want a closer view of
Belizean culture.
