Geoffroy's spider monkey
Mono araña
Reviewed by Pura Vida Compass Editorial TeamLast reviewed How we research
Spider monkeys need large blocks of mature forest, so seeing them usually means you're somewhere genuinely wild. Corcovado and the Osa Peninsula are the strongholds.
Where to look
- Primary rainforest
- Large forest reserves
When
Year-round.
Watching it ethically
- Observe quietly from below; spider monkeys will break branches when agitated.
