Belize: Nature & Wildlife

Belize. Nestled between two continents, this small but lush Central American country is known for its abundance of nature and wildlife.

Over half the country is covered in forest, making it a perfect home for diverse, rare and exciting species. It’s a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over five hundred species recorded.
Among them, the iconic keel-billed toucan, famous for its beak and vibrant plumage.
It shares its leafy home with a whole range of fascinating creatures, such as the long-tailed spider monkey and the black howler monkey.
If you are staying in one of Belize's eco-lodges your morning alarm clock may be its primeval roar.
The forest canopy might be a hive of activity, but there is just as much happening on the ground.
The tapir is Latin America’s largest land mammal, and the national animal of Belize. It is shy and secretive but look out for its tracks on forest walks.
But for every quirky animal at home in the wilderness of Belize, something all-powerful stalks its shadows.
The jaguar.
This magnificent predator is Belize's largest cat, and the true king of the jungle.
Conservation is one of Belize’s crowning achievements. As well as forests and mountains rich with biodiversity, its shores boast a beautiful coral reef - the second largest in the world, and where you can swim and snorkel with a range of exotic marine life.
For real lovers of wildlife and nature, this place is unbeatable. Bursting with life, and home to some of the last real wilderness on earth, Belize is waiting to be explored by lovers of the natural world.
