Canopy walkway weekend

Price per person US$450
The Canopy Walkway is an
experience that is without parallel in the rainforest! One third of a mile long,
reaching 120 feet above the ground and extending through 12 of the area's
largest trees, the canopy walkway is accessible to everyone, requiring no
special skills or equipment. The Canopy Walkway was built and is maintained by
the Peruvian Foundation CONAPAC and the ACEER. Foundation, and is the longest
Walkway in the world reaching the rainforest canopy. The Walkway has opened up
research in an area where little is known and much is left to be learned.
"Weekend Special" programs depart on Friday and Saturday ONLY.
