We have been to the Mayan Riviera 4 times now and we drive to many off the beaten trail places, and this might be the most memorable side trip we have ever taken. Just the "rustic" drive into the jungle is a great experience. I do not want to give too much away, but Heidi and her husband have built... more

Heidi and her husband Joel have 17 Spider monkeys ranging from 4 months old to 16 years old. They have been helping and rescuing monkeys for ten years. You get to be in a big enclosure with the female monkeys for 1-2 hours and the monkeys can crawl all over you. There is a whole separate enclosure for male monkeys... more

I'm a little late getting this on here, but my husband & I took our children ages 7 & 11 to The Jungle Place. That was last Thanksgiving 08 and they still talk about what an adventure it was! We absolutely loved it and the owners are fabulous, they were so kind to us. They limit the number of visitors... more

We visited The Jungle Place last month and now have momories that will last a lifetime. The monkeys were perfectly gentle with my son. They interacted with him in a playful manner, like children. He loved feeding them the little snacks that Heidi and Joel provide. They have worked soooo hard over the past 10 years to make this a... more

The Jungle Place was one of the main highlights of our trip to the Rivera Maya, we took in October, 2009. Heidi and Joe, the owners of "The Jungle Place" were so kind, and treated us as if we were friends visiting them, rather than "tourists" or "customers". Heidi greeted us upon arrival and advised us to "scrub" off all... more

The positive reviews individuals have made with regard to the Jungle Place are definitely accurate. It was one of the most special experiences of my life. In October we stayed for 4 nights at the Jungle Place and so glad we did. Heidi and Joel treated my daughter Carmelle and myself as if we were part of their family. What... more

I had heard about The Jungle Place through Tripadvisor when trying to find something to do other than Tulum (too hot), Xel-ha (too expensive), or 5th Ave (again!). I emailed Heidi to see if we could reserve a spot during our recent trip. She was prompt & provided the available date/time, directions to the sanctuary and a way to secure... more

October 24, 2009 We visited the sanctuary and had a wonderful experience. I was looking for something that involved animals that did not exploit them. Mexico is surrounded by many opportunities to visit and swim with the dolphins and I think that many people make that choice not knowing that they are only encouraging this activity to continue for simple... more

If you are in the area you can't pass up this place! This is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Heidi and her husband are sooo nice. They would sit and talk to you for hours. The one thing about this place is that they are actually about helping these monkeys and not trying to make money off of... more
