Activities offered
Canopy Tower is the ideal place to develop an appreciation for birdwatching: dozens of bird and mammal species can be observed right from your room's windows, species you would never see from ground level. Blue-crowned motmot, Black-tipped cotinga (cotinga noire), blue cotinga, emerald tanager, howler monkeys, Geoffroy's tamarin — all can be seen from the comfort of your personal space.
From the observation platform atop the tower, 15 metres off the ground, a view over the canopy and beyond stretches out before you. Unique photographic opportunities await, especially in the morning, when the branches and leaves are teeming with activity. The observation platform is accessible throughout the day.
The tower is also a prime spot for rainforest enthusiasts: Soberanía National Park's diversity rivals that of other parks across Latin America, which you can set out to discover on daily excursions.
All birdwatching activities are accompanied by private English-speaking guides equipped with binoculars, laser pointers to help spot the birds, and stereo playback devices used judiciously to attract the species of interest. Groups range from 2 to 8 people.
