Punta Laguna Monkey Reserve

Last thing we did today is visit a forest which is protected for monkeys. We had already briefly seen Spider Monkeys but this time
I had the good camera and hoped to get some shots.

We couldn’t really afford the cost of a guide so relied on good old fashioned fieldcraft (a lot of stopping and listening) and patience to find them. First the harder to see Howler Monkeys and then a group of Spider Monkeys. Great fun and quite an adventure to spend about 90 minutes in the forest on our own searching for monkeys. Can’t do that at home.

Very challenging photographic situation but happy with some of these.Read more
