The Belizean jungle

The Belizean jungle

Overview of The Belizean jungle

If you get all "beached out" and wanting to see some wildlife, then the jungle is for you. 60% of the country is filled with lush jungle and the best place to spot big cats such as jaguars, birdlife such as toucans, crocodiles, tapirs and a wide range of incredibly noisy howler monkeys. The jungle is typically filled with a variety of spectacular species, with a great chance to spot the rarer species due to the low human population.

The perfect escape from Belize City, this is a jungle oasis with waterparks, nature trails and a wide variety of animal species. There is a butterfly house, howler monkeys in abundance, crocodiles and many other jungle species; you can even camp there for the night!
