Fundació Mona (the Monkey Foundation) is a local organization set up to rescue chimpanzees and other primates from poor conditions in captivity. Visitors to the Mona sanctuary can watch families of chimps exploring the towers, ropeways and natural landscape of their spacious new home. Mona Foundation volunteers are always on hand to explain the story of the rescue of the chimps and answer questions about the protection of primates in the wild.

Distance from Barcelona: 1h30min drive.
