Victoria Peak, Mountain summit in Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize.

Victoria Peak is a summit in Belize's Cockscomb Mountain range standing at approximately 1,120 meters high and representing the second-highest point in this chain. The surrounding landscape consists of dense tropical forest within a protected reserve where jaguars, pumas, and numerous bird species make their home.

The peak was named after Queen Victoria and gained natural monument status in 1998 as part of a larger conservation effort. This designation linked several existing forest reserves into one connected protected area focused on safeguarding the forest ecosystems and their inhabitants.

The peak sits within territory recognized globally for its jaguar population, and visitors can observe traces of these big cats and other wildlife in their natural surroundings. The location shapes how people in the region view conservation and makes the area an important symbol for protecting Central American wilderness.

Victoria Peak lies in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, reached via the Sittee River Wildlife Reserve; the summit is often windswept and cloud covered, so plan for wet, cool conditions. The forest floor is relatively clear just below the summit, but the ridge dips hold sphagnum-covered boulders. A local guide helps with route-finding through the elfin shrubland and secondary growth.

The first British expeditions to the peak, in 1888 and 1889, actually climbed a neighbouring summit they mistook for Victoria Peak. The true peak was only later confirmed, and its height of 1,120 m kept it listed as Belize's highest until Doyle's Delight was measured at 1,124 m, 57 km southwest.
