Mammals of Iwokrama

The walkway gives you another perspective to view the mammals of the forest.  At 30 metres up in the tree-tops you will be eye to eye with many of the tree dwellers that are rarely seen from the ground.  At this level you may be lucky enough to see Spider Monkeys and Red-Howler Monkeys feeding.

It also affords a unique view down to the forest floor where Jaguar have been recorded passing right underneath the walkway.  The Iwokrama Forest is an excellent example of robust, relatively undisturbed lowland tropical forest with large proportions of game mammals such as Pacas, White-lipped Peccaries, Brazilian Tapir and deer.
