You'll receive an orientation at the visitors center, where a local guide will give you a behind-the-scenes look at the sanctuary and share its mission then proceed into the lush vegetation to observe the monkeys first-hand. You will also learn about Creole heritage and culture through demonstrations of local traditions such as fly brush making, rice beating, and cashew wine tasting.
