The canopy walkways were put up to facilitate scientific studies, but they also serve tourists, so they help generate income for the area. Along the way to and from the walkways, there were animal and plant spottings and demonstrations of making a roof tile and a backpack from foliage.
From the walkways, we went back to the Napo lodge for lunch and presentations about the local tribe preserving land and cultivating stingless bees. Then we went back to Mazan, Indiana, and Ceiba Tops.
