At Paseo de los Monos you can see a variety of rescued animals, including six kinds of monkeys, turtles and birds. Some animals are caged, while others run free. For an extra fee, guides lead four-hour walks into the surrounding jungle to see more of the center’s animals. Volunteer opportunities are available, with a minimum commitment of one week (per week $130).
