The
"Monkey Park" is located near the EcoPark Jungle
Lodge. There you can visit and see several species
of monkeys. EcoPark is a hotel, but at the same time
it is an Ecological Park. There they have a project
to preserve the region's fauna and flora near Manaus.
The region has problems with hunters and others, which
"rob" monkeys and other wild animals for sales. When
local authorities take these criminals, the animals
come "lost", maybe mentally and/or physically hurt.
Then they take the monkeys to EcoPark, and put them
in quarantine and treatment under inspection of a
vet. When it is time to feed the monkeys, it is possible
to observe them. This is the only jungle hotel providing
this opportunity. Note: It can be difficult
to see free & wild animals in the Amazon Jungle,
this park is nice opportunity.
