Atta Rainforest Lodge
Atta Rainforest Lodge & Iwokrama Canopy Walkway
Deep within the Iwokrama Rainforest lies a remarkable rainforest lodge and tree-top canopy walkway. Atta Rainforest Lodge sits in an opening in the forest and offers a complete immersion in the rainforest experience. Lovely gardens attract over 12 species of hummingbirds and lawns lead to the forest verge, where Black Curassow, deer, monkeys, Red-rumped Agouti and sometimes tapir come to feed.
Simple but comfortable rooms feature ensuite bathrooms with open-to-the-sky showers, so the birdwatching extends into your rooms. The open-sided dining room overlooks the gardens and weather permitting dinner will be under the stars, enjoying the sounds of the rainforest at night. Atta is well known for its indigenous influenced home-cooked meals and its warm, friendly hospitality.
An easy 15-minute walk along a forest trail leads to the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway, a series of suspension bridges and decks of up to 30 metres in height and 154 metres in length. This allows close up views of the mid and upper canopy of the forest and allows wildlife to be relatively free from human intrusion. This is an excellent platform for birdwatching or simply enjoying the unique opportunity to be in the tree-tops.
The forest around the walkway contains some well-maintained trails allowing access to various habitats with opportunities to spot a Jaguar. The birding, in particular, is extremely rich and includes several Guiana Shield endemics.
