Pictures from Kukum National Park

Last weekend, our EAP group went to a festival in Cape Coast (hopefully pictures to come), and then went to one of Ghana's National Parks, famous for its canopy walk. Yep, I went on a canopy walk! It was very very cool. I can remember learning about rain forests in 3rd grade and thinking how crazy cool it would be to see what the top of the forest looked like. Well, I did it!

The canopy walk was an attempt by a community of Ghanaians to create some ecotourism- it worked really well. They got a few Canadians interested, and then 6 months later, they had 7 rope walks above the Kukum forest. Now, the park gets a couple hundred visitors a day. Yea for tourism in Ghana!
