The RAINFOREST…. the Tropical RAINFOREST!



November 1

We went to Cacum National Park, which is a rainforest. They have a canopy walk up in the trees, with 8 swinging bridges connected in the tall trees. It was scary at first, but absolutely breath taking!!! The views were SPECTACULAR. We also got to meet a lot of different people. In our hiking group were a few Americans as well as British people. After one bridge there was a bird watching group and they let me look through their telescope at a bird with iridescent blue feathers. Absolutely gorgeous! We had so much fun up in the canopies of the rainforest. Then our taxi driver suggested to go to the monkey habitat, and who could say no to that? 10 years ago a couple from Holland started to build a lodging place for tourists, but people started asking them to take care of monkeys. So they built cages and habitats for monkeys instead! We got a personal tour of the different monkeys (and snakes, birds, and various creatures) that lived there, and it was so cool! Definitely a great stop.
