Great offshore and flats fishing, scuba diving, sailing, snorkeling, beautiful beaches and hundreds of uninhabited islands are literally at your front door. And that’s just the beginning of the attractions and adventures of the Placencia Peninsula. The naturalist and historian in you will come to life here as you explore the mainland and its many rivers and lush rainforests. See first hand howler monkeys, wild deer, green iguanas and crocodiles along with countless tropical birds.
The mysterious ruins of ancient Mayan city-states at Nim Li Punit and Lubaantun are within an easy drive of Cocoplum, as is the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, the world’s first jaguar reserve. For those looking for high adventure, the nation’s most prominent mountain, Victoria Peak, (3,680 feet above sea level) crowns the Cockscomb and is visible from the upper deck of every home in Cocoplum. |
