Monkey Island is a 10 minute boat ride across the river from our camp. We went around to the far side of the island away from the main current of the river and proceeded down the trail about 100 yards into the forest. Monkeys began chattering at us and Percy threw bananas at them to get them to come down from the trees. The alpha monkey ended up getting the snack as the others watched and became very aggressive with the smaller monkeys. Watching the monkeys, it became apparent that, like humans, they will create all kinds of diversionary tactics to get at the food. Monkey Island is a man made sanctuary for these creatures to keep them out of the surrounding villages.
