CEIBA TOPS WITH CANOPY WALKWAY
& EXPLORAMA LODGE EXCURSION SPECIAL 5 DAYS TOUR
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.
The Explorama Lodge Reserve, located 80 kilometers down the Amazon from
Iquitos, has been protected by Explorama since 1964
The rainfall here may be at highest in any month of the year, depending
upon the year studied. This lack of a defined dry or wet season, through
which many species of plants and animals would be unable to survive, is
believed to be the major reason for the extremely high diversity in both
flora and fauna, which has given this part of the Amazon Basin the title
of "The Biodiversity Capital of the World".
