We were always on the look out for monkeys!! We did not see any around Tamarindo...but but did see in the trees on our way back from La Fortuna!
Iguanas are all around!!! Some get really big!!
Brenda and I took an estuary tour one morning in hopes of seeing more animals. There was one crocodile by the boats very close to the shore. We watched him for a long time!
It was neat the way you could see the water line on the trees. The tide goes up and down so much during the day!!
We got out and walked around the jungle with our guide...in hopes of seeing monkeys (we didn't) but it was fun to see ALL these orange and black crabs. They were everywhere!! And so brightly colored! Brenda called them "Halloween crabs."
Brenda and I also drove to an animal reserve park...which overall was not that great. But we did see a lot of animals. It was just crazy hot and humid and fairly packed with tourists.
On the way back, after the afternoon at this incredible beach with HUGE waves....we got to see this family of monkeys eating in the mango tree. There were 5 or 6 monkeys (including one baby and one without a tail) and they would eat a few bites of a mango and then throw it down on the road. It could be dangerous to walk under the tree!!! But the monkeys were right overhead...and it was so much fun to watch them! Truly something you could never see in the US.
