Monkey River

Howler Monkey

Named after the troops of black howler monkeys that make their home in the jungle that line the banks of the Monkey River, the Monkey River drains the Bladen and Swasey watersheds of southern Belize.

Undisturbed populations of crocodiles, iguanas, gibnuts, hawksbill turtles, brocket and white-tailed deer and armadillos also reside along the river corridor and observe you as you glide by.

Paddlers generally kayak down the Swasey Branch of the Monkey River, just south of the Placencia Peninsula in the Toledo District of southern Belize. Good physical fitness is definitely an asset in these waterways.
