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".
