Haven't you always wanted a monkey?






We were taken by boat over to Monkey Island. Expecting to see monkeys in the canopy we brought binoculars, but they came a little closer than that. The hour and a half hike was just easing us into the many hikes we would take in the coming days. Monkey Island is home to Black Spider Monkeys, Capuchin Monkeys, Tamarins, and Squirrel Monkeys and we saw them all up close.

In the evening we went out to look for caimans. We sat in a boat as we glided along the shore as the guide shone a light pointing out the caimans. We spotted 11 and not just eyes, we saw the full animal! Very interesting excursion.
Off to our bungalows to fall asleep to insects and wake up to bird sounds. Best sleep we’ve had yet!
