Abstract We examined substrate use by a group of white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) during the dry season in the seasonally dry forest at Palo Verde National Park, Costa Rica. The group's most common terrestrial activities were foraging and traveling. Subjuveniles were most terrestrial, traveling terrestrially 55% of the time and foraging terrestrially 42% of the time. Juveniles were least terrestrial (36% travel, 24% forage). Rest and social activity were highly arboreal for all age classes. Terrestrial foraging was most common in the middle of the day. Terrestrial traveling became increasingly common over the course of the day.
