Monkeys in Puerto Morelos!

There is a Botanical Garden about a mile from Puerto Morelos that has spider monkeys roaming the jungle!! There were several monkeys that were carrying babies on their backs, one had twins.


They also had an exhibit of what traditional Mayan beekeeping was like....stingless bees were kept in hollow logs and honey extracted from the sides. The bee was highly regarded. Bacab is the Mayan bee god.
