Aguacaliente Wildlife Sanctuary

The sanctuary contains three freshwater lagoons connected by creeks, surrounded by limestone hills and marshy forests covering 5,492 acres of land.

Established in 1998, the Aguacaliente Management Team formed partnerships with adjacent villages to preserve this significant ecological region in southern Belize.

Local communities actively participate in conservation efforts through educational programs and guided tours that showcase the sanctuary's ecological importance.

Visitors should schedule tours during dry season and coordinate with local guides to navigate the trails leading to prime bird observation points.

The sanctuary's wetlands filter flood waters before they reach the Gulf of Honduras while supporting hundreds of waterfowl species during migration periods.
