Behind the scenes at the zoo

Jane our leader made the experience great and took care of us. Everyone else was friendly and accommodating and all the guest lectures were amazing. The best part was the monkey sanctuary, going behind the scenes at the Belize Zoo, snorkeling on the beach trip, and the spay-neuter trip. I really got to experience Belize and the wildlife there.

The best part was going to Placencia and bonding with everyone in the group. I also really enjoyed the suture activity - so fun! Every staff I encountered made me feel special. This program is amazing and I do not even have any changes I'd suggest. CELA Belize is a great program and even the food is soo good!

The wildlife hikes and exploring the land all these people work so hard to conserve and protect was one of the best parts. It really made the connection between us humans and the wildlife. Everyone at the Tropical Education Center, the Belize Zoo, and our leaders really made everyone feel involved and kept us really engaged. This place is magical and more people need to experience it! :)
