For this reason, one of his main attractives, is the Monkey Forest.This park is a nature reserve in which inhabit a large number of monkeys “long-tailed macaque”
The area where the reserve is located is known as the sacred monkey forestY Padangtegal and it is a demonstration that the coexistence between humans and animals not only possible if not that is natural.
In this shrine unites cult, animism, Balinese Hinduism and Buddhismmixing with each other forming a place of veneration and spirituality.
One of the main temples that we find inside the enclosure is the Pure Puranaalthough it is possible that formerly there were some more.
In addition to spirituality and history, the monkey reservecount with more 100 different species of treesas well as from floors, and in their domains besides macaques inhabit other animals and reptiles.
