There are trails and streambeds that make access to the jungle possible. A special feature of Corcovado Lodge Tented Camp is the Canopy Platform. Located over one hundred feet above the forest floor in a giant tree, the specially constructed platform provides a unique opportunity to view the life of the rainforest canopy. The site was carefully selected to create the best chance to view large numbers of birds and foraging primates. Often, the trees around the platform may swarm with mixed flocks of tanagers, honeycreepers, toucans, and other birds, as well as White-fronted Capuchin and Spider Monkeys.
Time spent on the platform is often the most productive wildlife viewing of the expedition.
The last day of the expedition becomes day 1 of the extension. The actual extended trip length is three days.
