There is not much signage of any kind throughout the reserve. One option is to hire a guide, though visitors can explore on their own as well.

The reserve is home to over 600 spider and howler monkeys. Hiring a guide will increase the likelihood of spotting these creatures, such as this spider monkey, in the trees.
