Above the canopy

Climb into the treetops for a bird's-eye view of the South American rainforests.

Perched high above the forest floor, these towers bring you closer to the beauty of untouched nature. Spot toucans and macaws, or catch a glimpse of playful howler monkeys in their natural habitat.

Canopy towers are perfect for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, offering a rare chance to immerse yourself in the wonders of the rainforest from a whole new perspective.

Here are three of our favourite canopy towers in South America.

“Panama is not just a short cut and is more than stereotypes (canal and hats). A skinny squiggle of a country that is a third of the size of the UK, it is not only one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the world, it is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet. It is a country that surprises, not least with its gastronomic flair.” - Justin Wateridge, Managing Director of Steppes Travel
