Atta Rainforest Lodge

Nestled in a clearing beneath the Canopy Walkway, Atta Rainforest Lodge provides comfortable rooms, expert guides, and home-cooked meals for all visitors. Lovely gardens attract over 12 species of hummingbirds and lawns lead to the forest verge, where Black Curassow, deer, monkeys, Red-rumped Agouti and sometimes tapir come to feed.

Indigenous Expertise and Hospitality The walkway and lodge are staffed by local Makushi Amerindians and other Guyanese naturalists. We grew up in this rainforest, walking its trails, swimming in its rivers, and learning from countless days of experience. Come spend time in the amazing land we call home.

Community and Tourism Services (CATS) - A unique partnership The Iwokrama Canopy Walkway and Atta Rainforest Lodge are jointly operated by Surama Village, Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation, and Wilderness Explorers. Together we bring a wealth of expertise and creativity to the guests who spend time with us.

Things to Do

The Walkway An easy 15-minute walk along a forest trail leads to the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway, a series of suspension bridges and decks of up to 30 metres in height and 154 metres in length. This allows close up views of the mid and upper canopy of the forest and allows wildlife to be relatively free from human intrusion. This is an excellent platform for birdwatching or simply enjoying the unique opportunity to be in the tree-tops.

Unparalleled Birdwatching Many of Guyana’s +840 species are on unique display here at the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway. Perched 33 meters (100 feet) above the forest floor, the walkway’s four spacious platforms give visitors a unique perspective impossible to gain from the ground below.

Homecooked Meals & Comfortable Accommodation Spend the evening, enjoy dinner under the stars, and treat yourself to the warmth of Amerindian hospitality before heading to the Walkway at dawn. We have eight comfortable guest rooms with attached bath, and we’re famous for our open-to-the-sky showers.
