A suspension bridge and fireman's pole provide access to different parts of the structure. Below the treehouse, a sculpture made from over 22,000 glass bottles adds to the whimsical atmosphere. Inside the tree's trunk, you'll find a unique 'man cave' where visitors can make a wish.The Treehouse offers a memorable experience and a chance to appreciate the unique environment of the Galapagos.
