Howler Monkey Sanctuary
A unique conservation effort brings together eight villages to protect the population and habitat of Belize's Black Howler Monkey, affectionately called "baboons" by the locals.
Walk through the rainforest that runs along the Belize River with Shane, who will educate you about the Howler Monkeys as he calls them out of their natural habitat to come and eat out of your hand. Did you know that the Howler Monkey is the 2nd loudest animal in the world?
