Place is beautiful. Really nice forest with plenty of shade and escape from the heat. The monkeys are awesome but can be very aggressive. Hide your food and hats. Don’t mess with them. Full review by TravelDoorsOut

Q:
Hello everyone, I’m very interested in visiting here in the near future and being such I have a few questions, if you have time. In a general sense monkeys are wild animals and I would assume this means there can be some unpredictable behavior. Does anyone know if it would be suitable to visit for a person with poorly functioning motor neurons? This can effect my walking and even talking at times and I am worried the monkeys might respond adversely to something and maybe (not knowing that I am disabled obviously as they are wild) and perhaps injure me? Other than the above concern I am really looking forward to this adventure. Thank you
A:
In my opinion I do not think the monkeys will seek you out. If a monkey seems interested you can turn around and walk away.
