HIKING ROUTE IN THE BARBAS BREMEN RESERVE🚶

We began our journey by boarding a Jeep Willys that would take us 15 minutes to get to La Reserva Barbas Bremen. We occasionally stopped at farms to explore deeper into La Reserva's thick forest.

As we go deeper into the forest, we heard the sounds of the nature, plus, we could breathe pure air🍃. To our surprise, during the trip, we listened to a particular sound which caught our attention. There were also occasions in which we strolled even farther and heard it louder than the sounds of the jungle.

We were a little worried by the sound until someone mentioned that it came from those trees. To our astonishment the noise turned out to be the Howler Monkeys 🐒, so we grabbed our phones and cameras to record a video of them right away.

Following a quick break to observe the Howler Monkeys, we continued trekking until we came to a small waterfall.
