Monkeyland with Orelvi and Manuel - This was fun for the whole family of all ages! The trip to Monkeyland was unforgettable. The experience was nothing short of amazing, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. The moment we were picked up from our port was perfectly organized and seamless. The highlight, of course, was the chance to interact with the squirrel monkeys. Learning about the local coffee and cocoa was both educational and enjoyable. Orelvi (Oral-B) was very knowledgeable and made the experience even more enriching with their insights and stories. Manuel was a good driver and got us to our destination safely. Thank you for providing such a unique and memorable adventure. I will highly recommend this tour!

Better than expected! - Monkeyland was better than expected. Of course, the monkeys were number 1. They are so cute and the habitat is surprisingly clean. The trainer/handler spent a lot of time with us (Sept 9, 2024) allowing the monkeys to get their treats from our hands, sit on our heads and jump around.
What was also noteworthy was our guide, Jose Rojas. He was knowledgeable about the community and their resources. We also received education on coffee and chocolate production. There were cultural facts sprinkled in with presentation. I really enjoyed the excursion.

Highly recommend Monkeyland - We had a great time. We highly recommend a visit to Monkeyland. The monkeys are very interactive and the staff was great. They also took really nice pictures. You pay one flat rate to get all the pictures they took of you and your family so you don't have to decide which ones you like best. They email them to you which is very nice.

Recommend! - This place is super fun! The monkeys are adorable and the guide made sure to come around to everyone multiple times so you were sure to get some good pictures, plus they take pictures for you and are pretty reasonable in price. The “traditional house” and demos were a nice treat as well!
