Howler Monkeys, Sloths, Iguanas, Toucans and many other fascinating wildlife species are common to see during this tour. However, we can not guarantee to see them due it is a natural rainforest.

After the rainforest expedition, you will have some free time for enjoy one of the most beautiful rivers of the area, located just in front of the main canopy facilities.
