I was lucky enough to live in Costa Rica for a while and experience the sounds of the howler monkeys first-hand. During my stay at a cozy Airbnb in the jungle near the coast, I was greeted every night by the sounds of these amazing animals. They would jump from tree to tree and create a concert of howls that was simply unforgettable.

One night, I was finally able to grab my recording gear and record the sounds for myself. I quickly set up my equipment and began recording just as the howling began. However, our neighbors thought it would be a good time to chat and talk, so you can hear some laughter and conversation in the background. It was a shame that some people couldn’t appreciate the amazing animals right next to them.

In addition to the people, I couldn’t escape the sounds of the cicadas and the waves from the nearby beach. Despite these distractions, I was able to archive a beautiful recording of the howler monkeys that I will always treasure. Unfortunately, they didn’t return during the rest of my stay in the jungle.
