Dorilla and Chepa

Dorilla and Chepa (two types of Wooly Monkeys) are rescue monkeys that were nursed back to health by the researchers at the lodge we stayed in. They now live on the outskirts of San Pedro, a tiny village of 200 people located on the edge of the river.  They are monitored closely and assist in educating the public on the importance of monkeys to the Amazonian eco-system.  We visited Dorilla and Chepa, and brought them some treats!  This was truly a once in a lifetime experience we will never forget.
