Whilst when we went, it was partially flooded, the monkeys came from everywhere for the food, it is great that such a place exists for these monkey to reintegrate, adapt and learn to be monkeys again, but beware don't leave anything on the boat as the monkeys do explore it and will take off with anything in it, like our...

La Isla de Los Monos is one of the most AMAZING places I have ever visited. I had a beautiful and educational experience while visiting. I had the pleasure of seeing this island and was absolutely blown away. Despite what locals tell tourists, this island is the REAL Monkey Island. It is the recognized rescue/rehabilitation center where the monkeys are... More

I just volunteered at La Isla de los Monos Rescue Center for 25 days and it was an amazing experience. Going to the Amazon, you want to see animals i am sure.... BUT YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHERE YOU GO TO SEE THEM. The area is extremely fragile and the animals are endangered. If you pay to hold... More

My friends and I just spent a month volunteering on La Isla De Los Monos and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Gilberto, the owner, is a shining light in the jungle who has dedicated 15 years of his life to rescuing monkeys in the Amazon. His island is recognized by the government as a legitimate... More

Now I have read the reviews about Monkey Island I am even more disappointed. I was at Ceiba Tops in Sept 2012 and asked to visit Monkey Island, a priority on my trip to South America. A friend in Australia had visited in October 2011. My request was ignored and the group encouraged to viit the Animal Rescue Station. I... More

This place was awesome!! The staff care for the monkeys and provide information. I was expecting the place to be much bigger but it didn't need to be. The animals are very friendly and happy to interact and play. I would definitely go back. Someone said in another review it is not good Eco tourism. I disagree with this. The... More

The Isla de Los Monos had many fine animals and birds- but the one which got my attention was the anaconda. I am still surprised that I let them put a 4 or 5 metre anaconda on my shoulders. (But it is my favorite moment of 3 weeks in Peru!).

Great experience but be prepared to get muddy and dirty if you want to interact with the monkeys. I loved Anthony the Spider monkey but they are all great. Take some cash with you so you can donate towards the cost of medicines etc for the monkeys. I visited twice, once was not enough. I would have kept going back... More

I am about to embark on my 3rd visit to Iquitos in Peru and whilst I love the place it is really Monkey Island that is the main attraction. Gilberto, the owner is a lovely guy and it appears as if his personality has rubbed off on the monkeys. It is difficult to photograph South American Primates because so many... More
