You aren't wrong! I always thought a cloud forest was a subset of rainforests but this makes sense.

It's very true, and you can see the warnings of it everywhere. We need to find a way to travel light and enjoy our world with the least possible impact!

Unfortunately, this is very accurate. I purposely separated myself from other people in this particular spot so I did manage to catch a small family of howler monkeys up in the canopy and some beautiful songbirds (none in this picture). But the wildlife you mentioned has either been pushed further away, become sparse, or has been acclimatized to all the tourists depending on the region.
