I went there to see squirrel monkeys. And I succeeded. One of the most epic experiences of my life.

The one species I didn't see in that country. And I looked in M.A. park.

When I entered the park one of the Park Rangers was an English speaking person. So, my partner and I started talking to her and she said that she had been their for three months and hadn’t seen any. I didn’t know much about squirrel monkeys, I just knew they were super cute and travelled in large groups. We ended up seeing them while descending one of the hilly treks. I totally missed them but my partner was able to see them. They were super cute and made tiny bird squeaks and we got pictures of them holding hands. We also broke all the rules and strayed into the brush and fed them. Best illegal maneuver ever. I’m so sad now as that trip occurred in 2002. I’m so old.

My trip was in 1994. I'm so very old.
