Abstract
Although frequently studied in captivity, less is known about wild Iguana iguana. Herein behavior of riparian I.iguana was collected alongside climate, vigilance, and boat traffic data. Observations showed boat tourism potentially affects I.iguana negatively. We recommend minor changes by the ecotourism industry to alleviate visitor pressure on I.iguana. Abstract in Spanish is available with online material.
