4. Isla de los Changos

   • Catemaco, Mexico
   • Sights › Island

   You can take boat tours to several islands within the lake. Isla de los Changos shelters red-cheeked monkeys, originally from Thailand. They belong to the University of Veracruz, which acquired them for research. Lancheros, disturbingly, feed the monkeys for the sake of close-up photography.
