BELIZE BIRDING TOURS

Bordered by Mexico, Guatemala and the Caribbean Sea, Belize is a small country with big natural and cultural treasures. Nestled in the heart of the Mayan world, Belize strives to protect extensive forests and other habitats, making this country a nature lover's paradise. It is easy to get around and access some fantastic wildlife sanctuaries, including Crooked Tree, Mountain Pine Ridge and Cockscomb Basin, the world's first and only Jaguar preserve.

Our Belize birding tours focus on the exquisite bird life here. Belize is an excellent destination for those new to Neotropical birding, where it is easy to familiarize yourself with toucans, hummingbirds, wrens, tanagers, trogons and more. It is a great place to find some Yucatan specialties including Ocellated Turkey, Yucatan Jay, Yucatan Woodpecker, Black Catbird and Rose-throated Tanager. As we venture through Belize, its biodiversity becomes apparent - mammals, butterflies, reptiles and so much more entertain us along the way.

Belize is also a great destination to slow down the pace and connect with nature in some of the most beautiful places that Central America has to offer. The soothing streams and awe-inspiring waterfalls of its mountainous interior, and the crystal blue waters surrounding its Caribbean islands make the perfect setting for our Ornitherapy tours. Combining mindful activities such as yoga and meditation into a Belize birding tour will allow you to really get in touch with the natural world through the beauty of birds.
