Why February

February is the biological peak of the entire year at Lapa Rios. Northern humpback whale density in the Golfo Dulce reaches its highest point, with mother-calf pairs visible from guided boat tours in the protected fjord. Simultaneously, the synchronized birth season for the endangered Central American squirrel monkey begins — troops moving through the lower canopy carry visible newborn infants clinging to their mothers' backs, a sighting that is specific to this two-month window and not reproducible by timing alone.

What's possible this month
