First, they built raised platforms, opening a trail without causing much disturbance of the environment. Secondly, timber was procured, selected to be resistant to weather conditions (rain, humidity, and the same Aguajal waters), including quinilla and al tornillo. The wood was purchased at authorized lumber which had their respective contracts of extraction and transport guides. The transfer from the lumber shops to the pier near the Canopy was conducted in chatas (wide platform rafts), and then the unloading to the work place was done manually and in some cases, using a cart to speed up the transfer.

On the third stage, they dug one-meter deep holes to set the posts of the quinilla, which is the resistance base of the bridge. The number of people who worked was initially 12 people, and then dropped to 8, since construction is done in parts.

Next, the fourth stage was the placement of the beams that joined the posts to the base of the bridge to form a base where they nailed large planks to form the bridge and platforms. After this, floor boards are fitted on the bridge and platforms. Finally, wooden hand rails were installed on both sides of the catwalk to prevent any accidental fall (see photo).

The bridge consists of 4 sections and three platforms with a total length of 200 meters. It has entrance stairs elevated 1 meter from the ground which allows a space between the bridge and the ground when water rises during rainy season. The first stretch of the bridge is 18.2 meters long and goes through some low foliage of heliconias and small shrubs and connects to the first 4x5 meter platform, where they conduct the introductory talk about what will be seen throughout the excursion.
