Day 12- Whooly Monkeys, Hike


So today was fairly similar. We started off the day with a hike and learned even more about the Amazon. Libio taught us how to juice out the finest aliments from the Amazon, on of which acted as a body cleanser. We all got to try a tiny bit. He took the reeds from a branch, conducted detailed steps, and made us all natural matching bracelets. He also showed us the way to make a backpack out of reed leaves. I got to keep this due to the fact that I had nowhere to put my water bottle. After lunch, we set out to an island about an hour away and were in search for yet another species of monkeys. After careful searching, we came across the perfect spot filled with a whole monkey family. We saw momma, poppa, and even the little baby holding on to the back of the mother! Knowing monkeys, they got a little feisty and started staring us down and throwing anything they could find at us. It wasn’t that bad though! I captured some wonderful pictures yet again today.
