Belize Zoo
Get ready for the zoo of all zoos. You won’t believe it. It’s incredible! There are no bars, no motes and no barbed wire to keep the animals secure. Simple enclosures that will boggle your mind maintain your safety,while allowing you to see various animals, birds and reptiles in their natural habitat. The folks who came up with this concept are certain to receive great accolades from zoologists in the years to come. The zoo was created as a sanctuary for the country’s indigenous species and is now home for an impressive array of large cats, primates, reptiles and birds. A visit to the zoo gives you the opportunity to see Belize’s amazing wildlife in one location.
Xunatunich
This is a wonderful excursion, particularly if you have kids. They will love every minute of it. Enjoy a scenic boat ride across the shallow waters that lie between San Pedro and the mainland of Belize where you’ll be met by your tour guide. An air-conditioned tour van will pick you up, and together you’ll travel up the Western Highway into the mountains of Belize and to the Mopan River. There, you’ll board a small ferry that is hand cranked across the river. Once across, you’ll drive up a hill and around a curve, and there, you will see history unfold before your very eyes, the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich.
