Peru - forest canopy walkways

Has anyone out there found a cheap way to ride the canopy
walkway near the ExplorNapo lodge (100km from Iquitos)? I'm
trying to avoid the words 'organised' and 'tour', but may
have to succumb...
thanks

   I've visited the ACEER canopy walkway and it is quite an
   experience! About 1600 feet long and, in places, over 120
   feet up - gives you a unique perspective of the rainforest
   with a birds-eye view! Sunrise and sunset are beautiful.
   Not sure, but I think you must be a guest of the ACEER lodge
   (part of the Explorama group of facilities) to access the
   walkway. Not that expensive compared to other Peru
   rainforest destinations. Good luck! Regards, Tad

   I think Tad is right, you have to be a guest at ACEER to
   have access. However, you don't have to go through a tour
   agency. You can book your stay directly with Explorama (see
   http://www.explorama.com/). Since you're looking for more
   of a solitary experience ask them about their "Tambos" which
   aren't listed on the web page. They are a couple of raised
   wooden sleeping platforms located 2 miles away from ACEER by
   footpath. Supposedly quieter with more wildlife. I've been
   looking into the same thing myself for trip in November.
   Have fun, Nerissa
