This trip to a sanctuary, dedicated to their welfare and conservation is a must for any fans of these beautiful creatures. After meeting the primate keepers and receiving a health and safety briefing, you'll help the team to clean out the woolly monkeys, meet the capuchins and hear about their backgrounds. Take a well-deserved lunch break at Tree Top Cafe, after which you will help prepare the monkeys' lunchtime fruit bowls and get involved in monkey enrichment. After a quick coffee break, you'll learn how to make a capuchin fruit bowl. Each of you will take home a t-shirt and certificate, photos of the monkeys you have met and one year's free membership of The Sanctuary (with welcome pack, monkey photos, a badge and newsletters throughout the year).
