Akumal Monkey Sanctuary & Rescued Animals: Guided Tour

About this experience

Akumal Monkey Sanctuary Guided Tour This ticket is admission to the Akumal Monkey Sanctuary, a dedicated refuge where rescued monkeys and other animals that have lost their natural habitats to pollution and deforestation are cared for by resident staff. The sanctuary focuses on rehabilitation for species that cannot return to the wild, and your guided tour offers an educational experience that raises awareness about conservation and animal welfare whilst supporting the venue's ongoing rescue efforts. During your 2 hours and 15 minutes visit, knowledgeable guides escort you through the sanctuary's habitats where you will meet different monkeys and animals, each with a unique rescue story. You can participate in interactive feeding sessions and observe how dedicated staff help each animal adapt to its environment. The hands-on approach provides insight into the needs and personalities of the sanctuary's residents. Staff members share details about the rehabilitation process and daily animal care work.
