Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary

Step into the lush, emerald heart of Belize at Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, the world’s first jaguar preserve. Nestled in the foothills of the Maya Mountains, this vast sanctuary is a haven for biodiversity, offering a rare glimpse into one of Central America’s most pristine tropical rainforests. While the elusive jaguar is the star of the show, the sanctuary is also alive with the calls of howler monkeys, the flash of exotic birds, and the gentle flow of mountain streams. Visitors can explore an extensive network of hiking trails that wind through dense jungle, past spectacular waterfalls, and up to panoramic viewpoints. Whether you’re tubing down the South Stann Creek, swimming in natural pools, or searching for wildlife tracks, Cockscomb Basin offers an immersive adventure for nature lovers and thrill-seekers alike. It’s a place where conservation meets exploration, and every step reveals the raw beauty of Belize’s wilderness.
