The 36 m (120 ft) canopy tower was an impressive structure and a great place to spend the early morning hours. Birds ranged from the tiny Pygmy Antwren and Yellow-browed Tody-Flycatcher, to Spangled Cotinga, Bare-necked Fruitcrow, Masked Tanager, Ivory-billed Aracari, Channel-billed Toucan, Blue-and-Yellow Macaw and King Vulture.
We saw or heard monkeys every day (six species in total). Pictured above is a Golden-mantled Tamarin, Saguinus tripartitus, the animal used as a logo for the Napo Wildlife Center. We saw these beautiful monkeys by the lodge, along the trail to the canopy tower and from the top of the tower.
We were also lucky on another day and saw a Pygmy Marmoset, the smallest of the true primates.
