Hanging your rucksack from a tree may offer a certain protection against other species, however, the Capuchin monkeys are not easily deterred, especially if they know there are fruits to be found.
Actually, a few minutes later when nobody was looking, a colleague of the monkey in the picture retrieved a shopping bag full of fruit from another traveller and disappeared with it in a high tree.
Seen on a Costa Rica beach.
It is a very relaxing experience to walk along a levada through woods and fields. The levada Nova in the Western part of Madeira is quite an easy walk and very varied. Local agencies organise the walks, but it is quite easy to do a walk on your own as well: although there are hardly any signposts, the "levada" carrying the water across the island usually clearly identifies the correct way.
