Scarlet Macaws at Red Bank

The Scarlet Macaw is one of the most magnificent -- and threatened -- birds in the parrot family. Just one hour south of Hamanasi is the Mayan village of Red Bank where December through February it is the winter home for nearly 100 Scarlet Macaws. During these months Hamanasi guests have the opportunity to observe and enjoy these wonderfully colored birds in the wild - definitely one for a birder's life list!

 

The tour starts with a hike into the rainforest and up the foothills of the Maya Mountains. The trail can be steep and muddy, so it’s not for the faint of heart.  However, the reward of seeing these endangered birds in their natural habitat is worth the effort.  A bonus to this trip is the other birds that often are spotted during a Red Bank visit, including wood creepers, toucans, other parrots, White Hawks, Laughing Falcons and more.  Of course, finding Scarlet Macaws is our main objective.  If you are not visiting during the right season, you can still enjoy our year round Tropical Birding Tour.

Nearby are the unexcavated remains of the ancient Mayan city of Mayflower. Archaeologists are still unearthing and piecing together the history of this modest Mayan ruin, which is overgrown by the jungle. Orchids, birds and lush vegetation abound!  This hike is physically challenging!

We appreciate that Hamanasi is able to provide exceptional experience for visitors while working to maintain the wonder of Belize.

Staff made you feel extremely welcome and tended to your every need. Tours gave you a taste of Belize and the resort gave you a taste of heaven!

Just keep doing what you’re doing… The Mayan tour history was incredible; the guide was extremely knowledgeable and profoundly connected to his heritage.

Everything is so close – the mountains, caves, waterfalls, animals, ruins – this is such a peaceful country with rich culture and a people that cares about the environment. What a hidden gem! Thank you!
