In this park you are supposed to see a lot of animals and local flowers and trees. However, the main attraction is the canopy.
You are on a small rope bridge, walking on top of the high trees, sometimes 100 m from the ground.
A big experience!
Don't worry it is very solid, but if you feel vertigo, don't try.
During the week, sometimes too many people and it can take you one hour to cross because of the afraid people, If possible for you visit during the week.
