Monkey Madness

Hey we're briefly stopping in town on the way back to the lodge from the horseback ride day 2. Remember, the group that did the creek walk (below post) did the horseback ride today.
Everybody on both trips is healthy, happy, and a little bit tired. Later we'll share more of the incredible photos we have of the wildlife we've seen -- fantastic shots of birds, monkeys, plants and other animals. Well, got to go, we need to get dinner started before dark in 1 hr...

We send our best to all.

Message from Capt. Morgan -- this is the best crew we've had by far! Amazing students with a thirst for education and adventure!!!



Hola! It’s Max! Today we went on the most amazing hike ever in my life. We went on a tour of a creek in a primary forest. Our guide, Adonis, is an Indian native to Costa Rica. When we went on the hike, we saw a lot of animals. There were a ton of amazing waterfalls, including one that we jumped through. We went through the creek, which had a few deep spots and saw some Capuchin monkeys in the water. We were all of the sudden surrounded by a troop of thirty monkeys. It was almost like we were in the zoo and they were looking at us. It was the most amazing thing that any of us, including Adonis, had ever seen. About five snarled at us and scared us into shock for about twenty seconds. We had to wade in water that came up to our chin. We had to climb over five waterfalls and many rocks. It was amazing!
