As the tour makes its way to the Sanctuary it will be passing by the historical Belize River which was once used as the mode of transportation by the Mayas and later by the British settlers to move their mahogany logs out of the rainforest. The tour continues passing through other villages that were first created as mahogany camps, as they make their way to the Howler Monkey Sanctuary. These villages are located along the Belize River and offer a stunning view of the Belize district.
Upon arrival at the howler monkey sanctuary, the guest then gets a chance to use the restroom. Thereafter they are handed over to the site guide who will take over the tour.
