The Canopy Walkway

The Canopy Walkway

The hike to the canopy is a rather easy one and takes about an hour. It's a beautiful trek and the wildlife is abundant. Along the way you'll see the ReNuPeRu Ethnobotanical Garden and a local shaman who will explain the local plants being used for medicinal purposes.

The walkway itself is magnificent. It consists of platforms connected by bridges. The bridges are attached to giant trees with large wire cables. You actually walk on metal ladders overlaid with wood which is surrounded by a mesh netting. The footing is stable but the bridges sway and bounce as you walk along making it a thrilling trip. The mesh safety netting comes up to chest level so I felt safe and had no fear of falling.

The highest point of the walkway is 120 feet and provides breathtaking 360 degree views of the jungle. The platforms have multiple levels allowing you to climb to better views.

The walkway provides an array of lizards, frogs and birds along with a birds eye view of incredible vegetation. We enjoyed it so much we took the hike 2 days in a row to experience it again.
