| Surama to Iwokrama Canopy Walk (20km, 18mi). Explore the park on bike and foot. Points of interest: Rainforest, Iwokrama canopy walk; wildlife and birdlife. |
||
|
It is a lush, green ride through the Iwokrama forest. As you travel along there is a plethora of sounds. Some of it comes from insects and some it is clearly calls from birds, but some of the sounds could come from animals, but the vegetation is so dense that you rarely see the sources, including when it is from birds. | |
|
 We
spent the night with the wardens. The preferred bedding in the forest is a
hammock that keeps you well off the ground (yes, there are poisonous snakes in
those woods), covered by a mosquito net that falls heavily on to the ground. |
|
|
 The
canopy walk is an impressive work of engineering and the views are beautiful,
but after several visits to the walk and listening to the wardens talk, it not
clear how much wildlife there is to be seen, certainly very little on a regular
basis. If your expectations are too high you may be disappointed. |
