So much fun to watch the monkeys!! Woken up every day by howler monkeys.....hard to sleep through that, but quite worth it! So much fun to watch the monkeys jump and leap from tree to tree, especially the momma monkey jumping around with her baby clinging to her back!

We saw lots of wildlife including monkeys, crocodiles, caimans & iguanas. Tortuguero is very wet and very humid. Each morning it rained heavily for an hour or so, and on and off then... More
