Polaroid of the week: Baby monkey in Costa Rica

Posted on 11. Oct, 2012 by Dany in Costa Rica, Polaroid of the Week

The thing we love most about Costa Rica is undoubtedly the wildlife. The variety of animals here is unmatched anywhere else we have ever traveled.

Just walking down a random street anywhere outside of the urban central valley, you are surrounded by colorful butterflies and hummingbirds and chances are great that you’ll see monkeys, ant-eaters and beautiful birds everywhere. If you look carefully you can even see sloths in the trees, and if you do a bit of research, you can see sea turtles nesting on the beach.

Where we are staying right now, we don’t even need to leave the house – the monkeys come right into our backyard! In the mornings we are usually woken up by the howler monkeys at 5am and a family of monkeys, including this cute baby monkey, likes to eat leaves from a tree in our yard.
