 VIDEO - Howler Monkeys at the Baboon Sanctuary
Bermudian Landing was visited by primate researchers in 1981, whose follow up studies highlighted the higher densities of Black Howler Monkeys. After initial consultation with the villagers in 1984, an application was made to WWF USA in 1985 for funds to set up the reserve. Local landowners and the Village Council signed a voluntary management agreement in 1985. The reserve has expanded since to include over 100 landowners who have committed themselves to the land management practices winch accommodate the Howler monkey (known as baboons in Creole).

 PICTURES - Hopkins Village and the Garifuna Culture
This quaint fishing village is nestled on the southern coast. It is a Garifuna village, a cultural group with deep traditions who are descendants of escaped African slaves and Caribbean Indians. It's sandy beaches, swaying coconut trees and cool breezes provide an ideal backdrop for relaxing. There are shops, a few bars, great little restaurants and many interesting people to enjoy here. Of course, taking in a Garifuna drumming and dancing show is a must.

Tell me about yourself. Where were you born? What do you do? What key moments in your life have brought you to where you are today?
I have been a sailor at heart most of my life, and finally got bored with being a lawyer, so we sold everything, bought a boat, and moved to Belize. My wife was sweet enough to go along with my plan. We have been married for about 33 years...

 A letter from the owner, Alex Gamero
The world has so many beautiful destinations. Around every corner there is something new to discover and experience. Each country has a unique history and culture and the more you travel the broader your perspective on life becomes. Everytime I visit a new country I come back home with a sense of amazement at the diversity that exists in our world. With the advances in transportation of the modern age no corner of the globe is out of your reach.
There are many great countries to visit, however Belize will always hold a special place in my heart. I was born and raised here and it will always be my home. When I started this business, of course I wanted to make it succesful, but another part of my goal was to share my home with those who choose to be my guests. Sometimes I get some students interested in volunteer work, and I help them find a position free of charge. I'm proud of my country and I want others to experience its many beauties....
