Amazing experience

~$25 per person for a walk through with your own guide. White faced monkeys that are free roaming for the most part as well as sloths, toucans, macaws, a butterfly garden, and several other monkeys. Parking lot just past the main entrance that had plenty of space when we were there.

This place was awesome. We were able to interact with the animals directly with our guide. I mean we could actually hold, pet, and feed them! It was only $20. So just take a taxi, not some over priced excursion package. It was the best part of our entire vacation.

Very manageable park with a small but nice variety of species. Animals have plenty of space or hang out/fly free. There is a zip line and suspension bridges and butterfly enclosure. Guides are great (we had Rafael) and there is some beautiful indigenous flora on the premises. This was a fun activity and did not feel crowded in early morning.
