Shhh. Keep quiet or you’ll scare away the animals. You’re on a canopy walkway or taking a zipline tour and the goal is to see birds, monkeys and other animals as they move around the tree tops that surround you.
Canopy Tours on Swaying Bridges
To reach the wiggling wooden bridge that is 90 feet above the jungle floor you’ve climbed up steps nailed into the side of a tree trunk. Now you’re faced with walking from the platform you are standing on across the walkway with a wooden-slat floor to another platform 50 feet away. The trick to walking on these swaying bridges is to hold onto the steel cable sides and walk slowly. That’s okay, because now you can look around see how different the animals look when you’re so much closer to them.
Glide From One Tree to Another On A Zipline Tour
If walkways are too tame for you, try a zip line tour for a faster route between the trees. Considered one of the hottest new adventure sports, on a zip line you traverse via cables from a platform set on one tree to another, reaching speeds of more than 20 miles an hour. The action usually comes with an explanation of what's happening with the animals and flora in the environment around you.
Jungles and rain forests are prime places to take canopy and zipline tours. You can find zip line tours easily if you’re going to countries such as Costa Rica, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Mexico and Peru. One place to start looking is Canopy Tour The walkways are more scarce. You'll find a few in the Peru's Amazon jungle and others in Ghana's Kakum National Park and Gun Palung National Park, Borneo.
