Canopy is an adventure sport that involves sliding between trees, secured with a harness to a cable that runs through a portion of forest and jungle. The longest canopy route in South America has been installed over the Cañete River, located in Lunahuaná, province of Cañete, in the department of Lima.
Its 2500 meters in length give it this recognition, already known by locals and tourists who seek to experience the adrenaline of flying over the Lunahuaná Valley.
