Observing the wildlife of the rainforest canopy is no easy task, given the density of the forest and the varying heights of its many tree species. Some lodges have observation towers strategically placed at different points in the forest. From the top of the tower, you can spot birds such as aracaris, parakeets, parrots, tanagers, cotingas and many others, as well as monkeys like the white-whiskered spider monkey (Ateles marginatus) and the white-nosed saki (Chiropotes albinasus).

These towers also offer an exceptional panoramic view, providing a unique perspective over the canopy. They also minimise disturbance to the natural habitat, allowing researchers and day visitors alike to observe animals in their natural environment without intrusion. In addition, they provide educational opportunities, raising awareness of the conservation of the Amazon's precious ecosystems.
