Equipment Needed

Backpack: It is highly recommended that you avoid carrying objects in your hands or hanging from your neck, since they can get caught in the lateral mesh on the bridges.
Binoculars.
Camera.
Flashlight: For twilight visits.
Insect repellent: Only natural insect repellents, such as citronella, are permitted, since artificial repellents affect the wildlife, and their corrosive ingredients can also damage the mesh and cables.

Safety

The Inkaterra Canopy is considered one of the most modern and sophisticated in the world. It is also one of the safest, due to the use of special cables and lateral mesh on all the bridges and because of the construction of solid vertical towers. It is made from the most resistant woods in the Amazon and the best industrial materials brought from the United States. The entire structure has a lifetime of more than 30 years under Amazonian conditions, although the steel cables can last longer.
