Geoffroy's Spider Monkey in Mexico

Where are geoffroy's spider monkeys in Mexico? The strongest odds are at Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve, where access and habitat beat a chance roadside glimpse.

Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas is the place to begin. Lacandon rainforest in the Usumacinta basin, a dense jaguar landscape of rivers, mahogany, and remote community-led trails. Give yourself quiet time at dawn or dusk and keep your distance.

Mexico context: Axolotls in ancient canals, monarch butterflies in the highlands, and wildlife bridging two continents.

In Mexico, look especially around tropical rainforest, semi-deciduous forest, and canopy corridor. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
