Jungle Place
Welcome to The Jungle Place! A sanctuary for the endangered Spider Monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) in Quintana Roo, Mexico. We provide food, shelter, access to medical care and a lot of love to rescued Spider Monkeys who were victims of the illegal pet trade, poaching, and habitat destruction and have nowhere else to go. We strive to provide these remarkable, highly intelligent primates with a safe and happy home here in their native jungle. They live and play as a colony/family and are provided with all the care they need to thrive, as they can no longer survive in the wild.
