At Belizean Dreams All Inclusive Resort we allow you the opportunity to explore two amazing Belize jungle hiking tours — the Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve Tour and Mayflower Waterfall Hiking Tour. Both of these national reserves are less than an hour drive from Belizean Dreams Resort and as an added bonus, at the end of each hiking trip you’ll be rewarded with a refreshing dip in natural freshwater pool or flowing waterfall.

Known around the world for having the world’s largest density of jaguars as well as several other cat species, the vast 155 square mile Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and Jaguar Preserve was established in the heart of southern Belize to protect the local jaguar population as well as other exotic animal and plant species. Upon entering this remarkable site, the rich Mayan culture is prominently displayed with hand crafted artisan souvenirs. Various artwork made by the hands of indigenous Maya living in the area include slate plaques, baskets, clothing, and jewelry all of which are the perfect gift for your family and friends back home.

After a bit of shopping, our skilled guide will lead you on a hike through several trails that cover 120,000 acres of protected land. While jaguars are nocturnal creatures, there will be much to see as this is also the habitat of the jaguarundis, margays, ocelots, pumas, deer, howler monkeys, and tapirs. Trust us, this will be a fascinating and educational hike through the tropical rainforest sanctuary. Don’t believe us? Wait until you get to Ben’s Bluff where you’ll see spectacular views of the entire basin. After your day’s adventure you can jump in the cool river for your refreshing reward. This specialty tour can be added to any package, simply contact us for more details.

Go ahead and ask our knowledgeable guide who will effortlessly point out the location of Mayan temples and ancient ball courts that archaeologists have yet to uncover.
