Iwokrama Canopy Walkway

Suspension walkways 30 metres above the rainforest canopy, where you can see toucans, cock-of-the-rock and howler monkeys up close at dawn.

The canopy walkway lies beside Atta Rainforest Lodge on the southern edge of the Iwokrama Forest. It consists of several suspension bridges and platforms, the highest about 30 metres above the ground, overlooking the rainforest canopy. The best experience is staying at Atta Lodge and climbing the platforms before sunrise to watch the rainforest wake through the morning mist. Common sightings include toucans, parrots, cock-of-the-rocks and red howler monkeys, and jaguars sometimes cross the road near the lodge. The walkway requires a ticket and a guide, and the lodge offers night walks. It sits beside the Linden–Lethem dirt road, where conditions are poor in the rainy season. It is usually included in eco-lodge packages.
