Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary & Jaguar Preserve

In this Belize Nature and Jungle Tour, your professional guide will meet you at Laru Beya for an hour drive to Maya Center Village, where you will check in and register before entering the Wildlife Sanctuary Reserve. At the register center, you can also purchase beautiful hand-carved slate plaques, baskets, jewelry, and clothing made by local Mayan women. Upon arrival at the reserve, you will be briefed and given orientation about the park. You will also view the original cages built by reserve founder, Alan Rabinowitz, which he used to capture and tag wild jaguars. The first hike will be on an established trail, where your guide will explain the flora and fauna that makes the reserve such an amazing place. You will also get to see a plethora of wildlife including a variety of exotic birds. Cool off with a much-deserved soak in the river, and depending on the water level you may be able to river tube!
