The Community Baboon Sanctuary, located on the banks of the Olde Belize River, is located 30 miles west of Belize City off the Northern Highway. Consisting of some 18 square miles of subsistence farms, the sanctuary exhibits the spirit of coexistence that Belizeans have with nature. Though a grassroots effort, the villagers and landowners have committed to preserving the habitat necessary to ensure a healthy population of Black Howler Monkeys - Baboons in Belize.

An ingenious set of rope walks help to maintain a continuous route of travel throughout their traditional feeding area. A Visitor’s Center is located on the edge of the village, where guests are briefed and then guided through forest trails to watch the "Baboons" in their natural habitat.
