About this tour

Belize is home to more than 500 species of birds, and this tour puts you right in the middle of the action. Start at the Maya city of Altun Ha, where temples rise above grassy plazas and the jungle hums with life, then head to a nearby bird sanctuary for a peaceful nature experience. With your guide's eye and a little patience, look for herons and egrets in the wetlands, colorful parrots overhead and, with luck, the keel-billed toucan, Belize's national bird. Mostly flat terrain and a relaxed pace make this an easy Belize nature tour for birdwatchers, photographers and anyone who wants to slow down and enjoy the wild side of Belize.
