Canopy Walkway Guyana
The Iwokrama Canopy Walkway is a series of suspension bridges and decks of up to 30 metres in height and 154 metres in length, located in the Iwokrama Forest. It gives visitors a new view of the mid and upper canopy of the forest and allows wildlife to be relatively free from human intrusion.
The forest around the walkway contains some important flora and fauna. Among these are endangered and protected species such as the jaguar, the bullet wood tree, greenheart and the waramadan (endemic in Guyana only to the Iwokrama Forest).
The canopy walkway also serves as a great lookout point for the Maipa mountain range and on the trail to the walkway visitors can observe a rock with petroglyphs (rock carving) and a strangler fig tree, both of which have interesting stories.
