Monkey Jungle & Zip Line Adventures

When we visited the Villa this summer with our two kids, our concierge suggested we visit the Monkey Jungle – a conservation reserve/free clinic complete with an amazing zip line course in the Dominican rain forest.

Located in Canarete and Sosua, the Monkey Jungle and Zip line Adventures 280 acre spot is a fun-filled opportunity for the whole family. Even the road to the place is an adventure. I should probably warn you though; it is a hike. It’s about two hours from the Villa, and the aforementioned road from the highway to the actual park is dirt, and it’s a bit rough. But it’s authentic Dominican countryside, and it’s beautiful in its own rite. And the zip lines alone are worth it!

Here’s a little video of me taking on one of the longer ones. This is the line you’ll see first when you enter the park, but it’s actually the third line in the course.
