Rainforest Sky Walk

OVERVIEW

Follow a winding trail through a dense rainforest and across sky-walk bridges that will present a unique perspective of the vibrant ecosystem. A naturalist guide will lead the way along a circuitous natural path that crosses several hanging suspension bridges, the highest being about 165 feet above the forest floor. It will be a thrill to walk across and look straight down into the deep ravine below. The naturalist will point out and describe the exotic fauna, which includes monkeys in the tree canopy and butterflies flitting about the flowering vegetation. Frogs are plentiful, including the blue-jeans frog. This species is easy to identify because of its bright-red color, except from the waist down – which is blue, as if it is wearing jeans. Colorful birds are also abundant, including toucans, motmots and trogons. Even if trogons aren’t present, you will likely observe their nests in the cavities of dead trees.
