HRH The Prince of Wales is Iwokrama’s patron. Follow the trail he took when he visited the Iwokrama forest in 2000 – a morning trek through virgin rainforest to a well known spot for viewing the Guianan Cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola rupicola) in their natural habitat. You have the opportunity to see them nesting in caves, performing their mating dance, bathing in pools, and perched in trees for perfect viewing. The tour is a community based project managed by the local community of Wowetta.

Prince Charles and the Cock of the Rock Nature Trail
The Prince Charles Nature Trail is located on the southern boundary of the Iwokrama forest and was created and named in honour of the prince’s visit to this area in 2000.  Here he signed the agreement to become Iwokrama’s Royal Patron under a towering Brazilian cedar.  An 800 metre walk will take you through beautifully varied forest that connects with the 400 metre long Cock-of-the-Rock trail to form a loop.  On the latter trail you will stop to investigate an active lek of the famous Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock with its luminous orange balls of feathers display among the boulder-strewn forested hillside which surely would be the highlight of the trip.
