After we went up the river and saw the monkeys...we went out in the lagoon area and tried to see the manatees that feed in there....but it was a cloudy, rainy day and we didn't see any...but Darwin, our guide picked up this jellyfish for us to see.
Howler monkey- we parked the boat an ran around the jungle following our guide down the "roads" he called them...they were just barely trails...he kept darting all around...and saying "don't worry we aren't lost...I'm just trying to find the fastest road to get to the monkeys" We heard them along the river as we approached, and heard them even louder in the jungle...They are loud...we were listening to 2 tribes that were hollering at eachother about who was in eachother's spot
At one point our guide told us just to stand there and he'd come back when he found the "road" to the monkey's ....so we stood around for what seemed like a long time...swatting the masses of mosquitos and spraying bug spray while we prayed he knew where to come back and get us :) We at one point waited by this Huge stand of green bamboo!!
the village of Monkey River...we got to eat lunch here on our way back -our guide's aunt was the one at the shop who made our lunch...very nice...more rice and beans and chicken too ;) He said that
just last year this village got electricity-which makes it a lot quieter at night with no generators running.
Going through the mangroves...we went down one called starfish lane...and everywhere you looked you saw starfish
