Now, there is a family of about seven or eight howler monkeys that hang out down there for about 5 to 6 days and then they come up here to the hotel for 2 to 3. They have babies now, so they are a little protective.
They don't attack or come onto the ground (ala "Congo") or anything like that, however you do not want to stand directly underneath the monkeys. It's been said before, and it will be said again: The monkeys know exactly what they are doing and folks have had to take an extra shower.
These guests were sitting by the river, and noticed that branches were falling down upon them. The wife joked that it was monkeys and they should be careful; the husband thought she was nuts.
The wife was correct.
Luckily, though, they escaped cleanly and were treated to a show of the howlers jumping around from branch to branch with their babies.
