Canopy began with the work of biologists and botantists in Central America who needed to ascend and study the flora and fauna of the upper canopy of the forest without damaging or affecting the environment.

This same system has been implemented as a model to develop ADVENTURE canopy tours.

Canopy tours are adventurous excursions for the whole family that provide a way to discover the forest offering the incredible sensation of flying though it while observing astonishing landscapes that would be impossible to experience from below.
