Monkey Sanctuary
Meet rescued spider monkeys in a sanctuary devoted to their return to the wild.
The way we see it
The sanctuary exists because spider monkeys keep being rescued: from pet trades, from accidents, from shrinking forest, and they need somewhere to relearn being wild. Visiting funds exactly that. You meet them with keepers who know each animal's story by name and guide every moment of the visit.
Why we recommend it
A working rescue where the visit funds the care of every resident, and the guides' affection for the animals is the show.
What you'll experience
A guided walk through the sanctuary's jungle: spider monkeys overhead, macaws announcing everyone, stories of each rescue told where it lives. Expect questions from your kids you'll be glad they asked.
