Tracking golden monkeys, on the other hand, is usually shorter and easier. From one place to another, the scenic drive will take between two and six hours, with a few rest stops. As long as the kids are within the park's age limits, the plan will work for active adults, photographers, and anyone else who wants a good mix of wildlife, culture, and relaxation.
