Geoffroy's Spider Monkey

Ateles geoffroyi · Corcovado · Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica

The most reliable place to see the geoffroy's spider monkey in Costa Rica is the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado, best Year-round. Spider monkeys need large tracts of tall forest and feed high in the canopy, so healthy reserves like Corcovado are the place — and a guide tracking active fruiting trees turns “somewhere up there” into a real look.
