A closer look
Staring straight down a 130-foot drop through the wooden planks of a violently swaying suspension bridge is undoubtedly the quickest way to cure your fear of heights. The Danum Valley in Malaysian Borneo is a 130-million-year-old primary rainforest holding one of the most spectacular canopy walkways on Earth. Bolted directly into massive dipterocarp trees, the walkway puts hikers right in the primate traffic lanes. It’s equal parts terrifying and magical, offering the rare chance to lock eyes with wild orangutans swinging through the mist while you cling to a rope for dear life.
