About this place

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

Mandala Suci Wenara Wana is a protected forest of giant banyan trees, mossy statues and three 14th-century temples — and its famous residents, more than a thousand Balinese long-tailed macaques.

Paved paths, bridges over a ravine and shady trees make it a pleasant walk even at midday.
