When I think of city trips I usually think of museums, culture, history, restaurants, theaters, concerts, architecture and many other things.<\/p>\n

I never would have thought of wild animals in terms of a city trip.<\/p>\n

Neither have I thought of wild animals in Vit\u00f3ria \u2013 in the Brazilian state Esp\u00edrito Santo.<\/p>\n

After meeting crested capuchins in the Reserva Natural Vale<\/a> close to Linhares \u2013 as well in Esp\u00edrito Santo \u2013 I was still daydreaming about my encounter and actually had no special wish for Vit\u00f3ria with respect to wild animals.<\/p>\n

Of course after visiting the Projeto TAMAR in the Reserva Biol\u00f3gica de Comboios<\/a> I wished to see the Projeto TAMAR in Vit\u00f3ria.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, we did.<\/p>\n

But in the first moments in Vit\u00f3ria I was content without any special plan to see wild animals in the big city.<\/p>\n

I was just content and happy.<\/p>\n

However, when our Airbnb host told us that little monkeys live on the Morro da Penha, she made my heart jump for joy.<\/p>\n

I started to ask questions in Spanish mixed with a few Portuguese words.<\/p>\n

Which little monkeys live on the Morro da Penha?<\/p>\n

How can we get to the Morro da Penha?<\/p>\n

Where can I observe the littel monkeys on the Morro da Penha?<\/p>\n

If I wouldn\u2019t have travelled with Ricardo, this conservation would have been more difficult. He translated from Spanish to Portuguese and back from Portuguese to Spanish.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, our sympathetic Airbnb host took time for us to explain how we can get to the Morro da Penha to observe the little monkeys.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, we had to walk only a small distance from our accomodation to the next leaving bus. But as there was no direct bus to the Morro da Penha, we had to change the bus twice.<\/p>\n

By the way, when using public transport in Brazil it is very useful to know some Portuguese.
\nAt least a little bit.<\/p>\n

Things are much easier and you might reach your destination earlier.<\/p>\n
