The reserve is the habitat of herons, innumerable land turtles, screeching peacocks, shy deer, elusive green monkeys, brilliantly colored parrots (in a large walk-in aviary), a snake, and a caiman. Except for the snake and the caiman, the animals run or fly freely -- so step carefully and keep your hands to yourself. Late afternoon is your best chance to catch a glimpse of a green monkey.
