One of my favourite activities here is to visit the Maikuchiga rehabilitation center. For approximately the last 10 years Sarah Bennett has been working to conserve and rehabilitate local fauna. Most of her wards are victims of the pet trade that have either been confiscated or voluntarily handed over by owners who no longer can care for the monkeys. Despite most of the animals coming from a background of abuse and neglect any one who visits is greeted by a number of curious faces.

No where else in the region will you have the chance to interact with so many species which currently number around 9. Whether its the calming grooming of Puu a monk saki monkey , the playful chaos of the squirrel monkeys or the mischievous curiosity of the brown capuchins there is at least one resident that will bring a smile to your face.

Of course we invite everyone to come and visit the rehabilitation center as well as experience all the natural and cultural charm of the region. For more information visit our website:
