Belize Rainforest Night Hike – Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve
Discover the magic of Belize’s rainforest after dark on a guided night hike through the world-famous Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, the first jaguar preserve in the world. Departing from Hopkins or Placencia, this eco-adventure offers a unique opportunity to experience the jungle’s nocturnal side, where wildlife comes alive under the stars.
Explore the Jungle After Dark
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive into the Maya Mountains before entering the vast rainforest of the Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve. As night falls, your licensed local guide will lead you along jungle trails alive with the sounds of nature—frogs croaking, owls calling, armadillos rustling through the leaves, and fireflies glowing in the darkness.
Wildlife Encounters in the Jaguar Preserve
The night hike gives you a rare chance to observe creatures often hidden during the day. Keep your eyes open for kinkajous, exotic insects, and an array of nocturnal birds. With a bit of luck, you may even glimpse the elusive jaguar, the reserve’s most iconic resident.
