Cross a bridge suspended above the misty rainforest canopy, looking down on tropical birds foraging below... Climb to the very top of a giant kapok tree for a towering view of the vast surrounding rainforest... Fly in a basket for a hot air balloon-like experience over the treetops... Take a refreshing swim in a black-water lagoon, home to otters, caimans, and the infamous piranha... Paddle along lush, narrow creeks in search of monkeys, sloths, or even the elusive anaconda.
