Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary

Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary is the world's first jaguar preserves, and there is even more to the site than that.

Cabins, camp grounds, and play ground are available to guests who want to stay awhile, but the draw to the sanctuary are the hiking trails and beautiful waterfalls that offer the opportunity to see wild life in its own habitat.
