Hike at Grand Etang National Park, Grenada

The Mona monkeys were so cool at Grand Etang National Park, Grenada They are wild but the park sign says it is okay to feed them fruit - bring a bag of skin ups and you will make a mona monkey friend!

Wild monkeys and we were able to feed and pet them, a local "called" them for us - it was so cool, he was playing his guitar by the lake and asked if we wanted to see the monkeys, he called to them and they came swinging down!

Justing and Mona Monkey, friends for life

Unbelievable!
