Description
This sky walk is in the Reserva Biologica Bosque Nuboso Monteverde and is about 100-ft. above the forest floor. It was in this reserse that I saw-and heard- a Mantled Howler Monkey. Unfortunately I was on the forest floor and the Howler was in the tree canopy, more than 100-ft. up. I did not take a picture because the light conditions were bad, and my lens wasn't long enough. But the sound this monkey made was loud enough in volume that it could easily have been made by an animal the size of an elephant. Yet these monkeys weigh only between 5kg to 8kg.
On a previous upload, dated 'Monteverde Cloudforest' and dated 10 December 2004 I show a view from the sky walk.
This picture was taken on 10 December 2004.

Fantastic capture! It actually almost looks unreal with the intensity of the greens around it, but a fabulous image!

Beautiful sky...
An impressive scene..I would like to cross this bridge! Once i did it in (Ouest Canadien):)
Excellent shot and contrast :)
Great way to lead the eye into the picture Sieg. We have several here too and I still dream to go on one.
I would give anything to see this place and walk that walk. you have made this so very inviting! So many things out in this wonderful world I will only see through photos as marvelous as this.
superb capture.
Beeindruckend! Eine wunderbar Aufnahme mit der Hängebrücke und dem Dschungel! Diese schönen Bäume! Bei Deinem Foto bekommt man einen schönen Eindruck, wie hoch oben dieser "Himmels-Weg" ist...
Amazing shot and place. Thanks for the info on the monkey!
Beautiful capture!
A highly interesting area on a nice photo!
Oh wow - this is an amazing vista Sig and such a great capture! Pity that you couldn't shoot the monkey - with the camera I mean!! :)
fantastic capture my friend, excellent image
An excitement to be on this. Excellent shot. Aloha
This is quite a scene. Great photo!
Man always wants to make it easy for the infirm to acccess the most physically challenging places. The true heroes hate crowds. They have to seek, always, a new frontier.
excellent capture Sig, it makes me want to cross it.
Wonderful shot!!! :)
Seems to lead to a solid wall of forest. Must be very interesting beyond.
marvelous image!!!
Beautiful shot!!!!
Greetings, I can only imagine what it must have been like. Thank you for sharing. egmont
Wow, how amazing to be up in the trees--I'd love to see it in person. Great capture!
Great shot and colors. But, I don't think I could walk on this bridge. My heart is pounding just looking at this. Well done. Aloha
Oh Sig, this bridge is fabulous... I adore your capture!
Excellent photo!
This is something I can only dream of Sig, I have always wanted to go up into the canopy of a rain forest, ever since seeing David Attenborough in one many many years ago. At that time I was fit and healthy and stoney broke, so couldn't fund one anyhow. He was swinging about on a wire though, not on a posh walkway like this one. Superb capture, thanks for sharing, like PJ, seeing photo's of these exotic places is our only way of seeing them. Bravo!!!!!
I don't know if I would have the nerve to walk on this skywalk ! Great shot ! I wish I could see the monkey you are talking about !
wow that must be something to walk this. real cool shot of it
