Catemaco - City of Witches and Monkeys

Our car is getting fixed and won't be done until Thursday, so we decided to go to Catemaco and see some monkeys. We took a bus there and back, which took about 45 minutes each way. Catemaco sits on a huge lake and has a couple islands where lots of monkeys live. It was really cool. We road out on a boat to an island where there are lots of monkeys that live there.
We put some bananas on the end of our boat and the monkeys climbed into our boat to eat the bananas. They were only about two feet from us. Wild monkeys! There was also a tiny island there that had tons of birds on it and the trees were white from their poo. We saw a little baby monkey on one of the islands too. It was really neat to see all the monkeys up that close. This city also has a lot of witches so while we were on our little boat ride they tried to get us to pay a witch doctor to cure us of all our ailments. It was a little crazy. It was a beautiful area and a cool experience to see the monkeys up that close.
