Inkaterra Constructs the First Canopy Walkway in the Southern Rainforest of Peru |
Inkaterra dedicated the most modern Canopy Walkway last week in the southern rainforest of Peru. The walkway is located in their reserve as well as in the private reserve ‘Reserva Amazonica’. It is one hour from Puerto Maldonado on the river Madre de Dios.
The first stage of the canopy walkway is 345 meters in length distributed
between 7 hanging bridges, 6 circular observation platforms around the
trees and 2 vertical towers 35 meters high. The purpose of the
Canopy Walkway is to allow visitors to experience the wonders of the
rainforest with minimal environmental impact.

The Canopy walkway allows the visitors
to see the flora and fauna in the canopy of the rainforest from the
comfort and security of the walkway. Visitors are able to see magnificent
orchids, flowers, plants, primates, birds and more up close and to see all
of the activity of the canopy while actually in it. The profits from the
Canopy Walkway will finance conservation efforts and social development
projects in the area.
A new software program called Language Interface Pack (LIP) allows the more than 3 million speakers of Quechua in Peru to have access to computer programs in their language. The program was developed by the Ministry of Education and Microsoft Corporation without cost to the government. The collaboration seeks to develop the
abilities of Quechua speakers through the use of information technologies
in their own language. The goal of the program is to optimize their
learning processes and to improve their social development and quality of life.
