Catemaco, Mexico
Our September 2015 trip to Catemaco Mexico. The first stop at the water fall was amazing. The force you feel when close to the water is extreme. When I mentioned to Laura that I had to fly the drone to capture the moment she refused. She was right, the wind was extreme and spray was everywhere. We managed to get just far enough away to launch Melmac and get the footage you see in the film.
The second stop on Lake Catemaco was initially thought to be a little boring, it turned out to be incredible. We took the pango cruise over to the Shaman house to be cleaned, stopped at Isla de las Garza to see the huge amount of birds hanging around in their natural environment and then to Isla de las Changos to see the two different monkeys. They were scared of the drone and ran away once I was able to get close to the Island.
This was a great trip.

Lake Catemaco, Veracruz MEXICO
Laguna Catemaco is the 2nd or 3rd largest lake in Mexico, depending on your source. It is 30 minutes from the Gulf Coast, about midway between Veracruz City and Coatzacoalcos. It is tropical jungle -- very hot and humid. Unfortunately the beautiful lake is polluted with raw sewage from the surrounding villages, a situation that will need major government intervention and community education, which so far hasn't been a priority. Maybe when tourists stop coming, the locals will take action!

[한국어 정보]
여기는 베라크루스의 허파라고 불리는 카테마코 호수. 유네스코에 의해 세계 자연유산으로 지정 됐다. 호수 주변에 있는 5개의 섬 안에는 각종 희귀 동식물이 자연 그대로 자라고 있다. 호수에는 연꽃부터 악어까지 살고 있다니 관광지라기보다는 자연 생태 호수라는 느낌이 더 강했다. 호수의 환경을 보호하기 위해 관광객은 섬에 내릴 수 없고 먹이도 줄 수 없다. 그저 보트를 타고 섬 주변을 돌아보는 것만으로 만족해야한다. 1974년 베라크루스 대학에서 태국 원숭이가 이 섬에서 적응이 되는지 알아보려고 데려다 놓은 원숭이들이다. 먹이를 특별히 주지 않고 이 섬에 풀어 놨는데 지금까지 번식하며 잘 자라고 있다고 한다. 말하자면 태국에서 온 이민세대인 셈이다. 그중 대장 원숭이 격인 놈이 나타났다. 뭔가 남달라 보였다. “대학생들이 여기에 데리고 와서 방목했어요. 이곳 환경에서 원숭이의 적응력을 관찰하는 실험을 했죠. 동물들은 적응해 나가며 음식물을 섭취하며 살아남았어요. 이곳에 사는 원숭이들은 유일하게 수영을 할 줄 아는 종류로 우렁이, 새우를 잡아먹고 살아요. 여러 텔레비전 방송에도 출연했었죠. 수영을 아주 잘해요. 이 지역의 환경에 아주 잘 적응했어요.” 카테마코 호수의 자연 환경에 지구를 반 바퀴 돌아 태국에서 이주한 원숭이가 잘 적응하고 있다니 무척 신기하고 대견스러웠다.
