Monkey Tour


Where murky waterways weave through dense mangrove forests that border the coastline, wildlife in Costa Rica thrives. Primarily monkeys, in addition to crocodiles and various forms of otherworldly lizards and crabs were spotted on our boat tour, thanks to our eagle eyed guide. (A true local, he grew up on one of the islands we passed by.) But it was more than just the animal sightings out there, it was the way the sunlight seeped through the trees, enveloping the tropical landscape in a warm glow. It was the low hum of our cozy ten seat motor boat as it sped through the canals. This place embodies something magical for sure. I think the monkeys would agree.
