Daytrip on the Monkey River - Belize, 5 April 2007

On April 5th I went from Placencia with a small boat (6 people and 1 sheep) through the mangroves to Monkey River town. This Monkey River Tour led up the Monkey river. In the mangroves there were lots of birds; pelicans, great egrids, magnificent frigatebirds. Up the river you could see bats, a fresh water turtle, big spiders, lots of jungle, birds of prey like the black vulture and much more. In the jungle there were lizards, howler monkeys and even a 12 foot boa!

To see where these photo's were taken exactly, have a look at the interactive map and zoom in and out for a better overview.
