Enjoyed your story very much. Reminded us of a time in Trinidad where we went exploring and one of the monkeys were high up and throwing large sticks at us. Luckily they missed!
A travel buddy and I were wending our way down to South America in 1976, when we came upon Playa Tamarindo in Costa Rica. There were no tourists or hotels at that time and few nomads knew about this exquisite beach. We decided to camp out on the far end of the beach since we had everything we needed--mosquito nets that slipped over our hammocks, sleeping bags, cooking equipment etc. We were in paradise and stayed five weeks. We gradually became accustomed to a pack of howler monkeys that visited us bright and early each morning. No chance of sleeping in. I think we may have pissed them off with our overstay. The last few days a mom came very close to us with her baby riding on her back. The last morning, mom threw her baby on top of my mosquito net and he almost dropped onto my face. The baby howled and scrambled to get off of me and the rest of the tribe seemed to be laughing. We got the message, packed up and headed south. Loud is an understatement of the howlers but we loved them anyway. Great story!! 🐒🙉🌎🙏
What a great story and memory, Rebecca! It made us laugh :-). We watch monkeys toss fruit at passerby's - mischievous devils. So why not toss a baby howler as well, lol.
You lived along a monkey troop on an untouched beach! In our travels, we occasionally come across pristine beaches too far away from everything to be usurped by people. Animals still make them their own. But such spots are disappearing, and maybe our generation is the last one to have these lucky experiences.
It's so true many of these pristine, awesome places in nature are disappearing rapidly Egor. It gave me a lot of pleasure to see both of you exploring the beauty in nature and knowing these spots still exist. I was a global nomad for years when I was your age. Direct life experiences and worldwide exposure offer an excellent education. I'm 74 now, but still trucking along the road whenever it's possible. Your video reminded me of my two-month journey down the Amazon in 1977. I can't believe I'm still alive. 🌹🤩👏

Finally! The monkeys are uncovered. Great story, nice visuals.
