canopy walks
Suspended forest bridges
Canopy walks are elevated walkways suspended among the treetops of a forest, typically constructed of rope bridges, platforms, and cables.
They allow visitors to experience the forest canopy—the upper layer where most wildlife activity occurs—without disturbing the ecosystem below.
Found in rainforests and nature reserves worldwide, canopy walks serve both tourism and scientific research: The canopy walk offered stunning views of howler monkeys and toucans.
