Mangroves and monkeys

Our guide Juan Carlo was so knowledgeable, being low season it was just the two of us and our guide, which was a bonus! He took us deep into the mangrove forest and pointed out crocodiles, birds, and then he took us out into the forest to find howler monkeys, what a sight to see these animals in their native habitat. A wonderful experience!

Adventurous tour

We saw monkeys and crocs. A lot of birds and crabs. Toward the end of tour we jump onshore into the woods to see a lot of wild life. Highly recommend experience. My two year old daughter is very happy with the animals and pineapples.
