The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated

Hotel pickup is included but bring water; tropical heat and climbs between platforms dehydrate quickly.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or trail shoes give traction on ladders and wet platforms.

Use biodegradable insect repellent

The forest hosts mosquitoes and biting flies—eco-friendly repellent protects you without harming waterways.

Secure loose items

Use a small zippered pouch or leave valuables at the welcome center to avoid losing phones or sunglasses mid-line.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask for the higher lookout near platform 10 for an uncrowded panorama over farmland and ridges
  • Combine the morning canopy with a nearby local farm stand for fresh-squeezed juice and roadside snacks after the tour

Wildlife

  • Hummingbirds
  • Iguanas

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize minimal footprint—stay on platforms, use biodegradable repellent, and avoid feeding wildlife to reduce human-wildlife conflicts.

The Anamuya foothills are part of eastern Dominican highlands formed by tectonic uplift; the region has long supported small-scale coffee and cacao cultivation by rural communities.
