EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases a local monkey from Monkey Creek, nestled within the picturesque Chiffa Gorge in the Blida province of Algeria. The Chiffa Valley, known for its stunning gorges and mountains, is a popular attraction for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts, drawing visitors from near and far. The monkey in this image is a native of the region, likely a Barbary Macaque, which is the only Old World monkey species indigenous to North Africa. These sociable primates are well-adapted to living in rocky, mountainous habitats, making the rugged terrain of Chiffa Gorge an ideal home for them. The Hotel Monkey Creek, located in the heart of the valley, was a popular destination for travelers during the early 1900s. The hotel offered guests a unique opportunity to observe these fascinating creatures up close, providing a memorable experience that remains etched in the annals of Algerian history. This photograph captures the essence of the region's natural beauty and the intriguing wildlife that calls it home. The monkey's inquisitive expression and the lush greenery of the gorge create a striking contrast against the rugged, mountainous backdrop. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich heritage and natural wonders of Algeria's past.
