Enjoy a tranquil boat ride down the river to the majestic and untouched village of Monkey River. Monkey River is located in Southern Belize, about 30 minutes away from the Placencia peninsula.

Belize is known for its diverse ecosystem and rich culture. The tiny village is the perfect spot to experience Belize’s natural rainforest. Money River village is certainly an out-of-the-box experience: a small community made up of about 200 inhabitants. The main attraction consists of the Howler monkeys, in addition to the Manatee habitat and the white sandy beach, a favorite local spot.

The history of the village was once based on the productive banana industry. However, today much has changed with most families making a living from fishing, hunting and tourism.

Take a ride down the river and view the wild variety of nature: Howler monkeys swinging in the trees, iguanas basking in the sun or just a mother Bobbie bird feeding her young. Visit one of the local restaurants and enjoy culture at its best, having a traditional Creole platter.
