The Sacred Monkey Forest is located just a 10-minute walk south of the center of the island and is one of the top tourist attractions in Bali, a must-visit for animal lovers and professional photographers. This forest is home to free-roaming long-tailed macaques, and paved paths through thickets of giant nutmeg trees lead to moss-covered statues and ancient temples, adding to the spirituality of the place. The main purpose of this forest is to represent the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals, as well as providing a safe home for macaques and rare plants.
