One of the big draws for tourists is Tortuguero National Park, which you explore mostly by boat. On our trip through, we saw lots of new birds—parrots, oropendolas, anhingas, trogons. We also saw some herons and egrets—probably down from Minnesota to visit their Central American relatives. The other highlight was the monkeys, howler and spider (shown here) and capuchin. We watched one troupe feeding, complete with a baby on one of the mama’s backs. We also got to see a troupe swing its way through the trees above and across the canal. If I knew how to zoom in on this picture, I would. Then you would get a better view of this charming critter. Maybe using your photo skills you can bring it in a bit. Or call Eben and ask him to describe it for you. He loved the monkeys!
