Description

The Belize Raptor Center is an organization dedicated to the conservation of raptors and their habitat through education. On the trails that surround the Center you can find over 150 species of birds in their natural habitat. In a short distance you will find lots of different species associated to forests and rivers since the trail leads to the Macal river. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays you can also join the free education programs at the Raptor Center to learn about raptors and the conservation work we do.
