A Curious monkey and Coroico

After biking down the World's Most Dangerous road we visited the Senda verde Animal Refuge. A monkey took a shine to me and climbed on my shoulder. He also decided it would be fun to climb under my skirt on several occasions.

In the words of Robbie Williams…..”Me and my monkey!”

The birds are only put in cages at night for their own protection and are free to fly away at any time. None of them seemed to be in too much of a hurry.

Volunteers can become a surrogate mother to an orphaned baby Monkey but must stay for two months and be with the monkeys almost 24 hours a day. Cute but I don't think so!

We stayed at the beautiful Sol y Luna in Coroico. A power outage made for a romantic birthday dinner.

Bananas anyone? The main street of Corocico.

The sand flies took a liking to me!
