Google image search cecropia moth caterpillar...is that it?
its probable either: one of the giant silkworm moth caterpillars (Polyphemus, Luna, Cecropia, Imperial, Io)
OR
A large sphinx moth caterpillar. Most, but not all, of the big sphinx caterpillars are hornworms ie. they have a horn at one end of the body. If your caterpillar didn't have a horn then it was most likely one of the giant silkworm moth caterpillars.
