You step out of an air‑conditioned van into a humid, salt‑tinged breeze; the road behind hums with island life while parrots and distant surf call you forward. The sanctuary’s trees lean over narrow paths and sloths blink slowly from high branches, while capuchin monkeys size up newcomers with quick, curious movements. Later, the rhythmic hiss of a chocolate press and the warm spice of rum tasting fill a West End courtyard.
