Kapok tower and Canopy walkway excursions

12-19 August 2005

A kapok tower and a canopy walkway, respectively 43 and 30 meters tall, are the ideal points to observe birds and other wildlife from the top of the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador. They are located within a short and easy walking distance from Sacha Lodge.
