Monkey Forest is a natural park with an original concept presenting more than 100 Barbary Macaques, living in full freedom in a natural setting of 10 hectares.
You will discover them near the path, or high up in the trees as you make this attractive an unusual walk at your own pace.
The greediest (and they are numerous...) will readily approach you to take from your hand the popcorn given to you at the entrance.
Barbary Macaques are a highly developed and organised species. The many observations possibilities and the direct contact with the monkeys make the walk extremely interesting for all the family, photographers and animal-loving persons.
The Barbary Macaques are originating from the Atlas mountains. Today, they are a threathened species. Two reintroductions to North Africa have already been successfully completed. Around 600 Barbary macaques born in the park were brought back to Morocco to strengthen the wild populations.
