You don't have to go all the way to South America to get up close and personal with primates. Coming to some tree-tops near you (well, in Cornwall anyway) are some beautiful and endangered woolly and capuchin monkeys. This experience involves a trip to a sanctuary dedicated to their welfare and conservation and is a must for any fans of these beautiful creatures. After meeting primate keepers and receiving a health and safety briefing, assist the team with cleaning out the woolly monkeys, meet the capuchins and hear about their backgrounds. Take a well deserved lunchbreak at Tree Top Cafe, after which you will help prepare the woolly monkeys' lunchtime fruit bowl, pick wild leaves from the Victorian gardens and get involved in monkey enrichment. After a quick coffee break, learn how to make a capuchin fruit bowl. Each of you will take home a t shirt and certificate, photos of the monkeys you have met and a one year free membership of the sanctuary.

Looe, Cornwall
