Why March

Squirrel monkey infants are now visible and increasingly mobile, moving with their troops through the lower and mid canopy in the most photogenic stage of the birth cohort. The four-monkey walk is at its most rewarding this month — spider monkeys, howlers, and capuchins are all active, and squirrel monkey troops with infants use the lower forest edges where the reserve meets the coast. The Pacific-side point breaks at Cabo Matapalo and Pan Dulce are running on consistent southern swell.

What's possible this month
Watch endangered squirrel monkey infants foraging and moving alongside their mothers in the lower canopy
Surf the Cabo Matapalo point breaks on the rough Pacific side in the most consistent swell of the year
Hike the full private reserve trail in the last reliably dry weeks before the wet season begins to build
Kayak the calm Golfo Dulce fjord at peak sea temperature with dolphins regularly working the shallows

Midday heat is realMarch afternoons regularly push past 90°F with significant humidity. Strenuous hiking and any guided excursion is best before 9am or after 4pm. This is not a scheduling preference — it is a physical requirement most guests underestimate until day two.
