For anyone who is considering being at the Canopy Tower, we would recommend highly the extension at El Valle. The lodging and the service and food were superb and in that three day period we saw 53 additional bird species which we had not seen during our week long stay at the Tower. The guides at both the Canopy Tower and at El Valle were excellent. We have never had better in ay experience. It was birding at its best and an unforgettable experience.
