At Jacamar Tours, we’re passionate about sharing the wonders of Costa Rica’s wildlife with you. One of the most unforgettable experiences we offer is our Caño Negro Boat Tour, where nature unfolds in its purest form. Among the many incredible creatures you’ll encounter, the Howler Monkey (Alouatta palliata), also known as the Howler Monkey, stands out as a true highlight of this adventure.
The Howler Monkey: A Voice of the Rainforest
The Howler Monkey is one of Costa Rica’s most iconic primates. Known for its deep, guttural calls that echo through the rainforest, this monkey is often heard before it’s seen. Its distinctive howl can travel up to 3 miles through the dense jungle, making it one of the loudest animals in the world!
On our Caño Negro Boat Tour, you’ll have the chance to witness these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. As we glide along the tranquil waters of the Río Frío, keep your eyes and ears open. You might spot a family of Howler Monkeys lounging in the treetops, munching on leaves, or even hear their powerful calls reverberating across the river.
Why Caño Negro is Perfect for Monkey Spotting
Caño Negro is a haven for wildlife, and its lush wetlands provide the perfect environment for the Howler Monkey to thrive. The slow-moving river allows us to get close to the riverbanks, where these monkeys often forage and socialize. Our expert guides know the best spots to find them and will share fascinating insights about their behavior, diet, and role in the ecosystem.
More Than Just Monkeys
While the Howler Monkey is a star of the tour, Caño Negro is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife. As we explore the river, you might also spot:
Exotic birds like herons, kingfishers, and the rare Jabiru stork
Caimans basking in the sun
Sloths hanging lazily from the trees
Iguanas and Jesus Christ lizards scurrying along the banks
Every moment on the water is a chance to connect with nature and witness the beauty of Costa Rica’s biodiversity.
