Climb a 40-meter Angelim tree on the outskirts of Manaus for a canopy-level view of the Rio Negro. This half‑day guided climb combines simple rope techniques, rainforest wildlife sightings, and transfer from city hotels.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the van into a humid hush: leaf litter soft underfoot, insects sketching the air, and a single trunk rising straight up into the canopy—an Angelim that will take you to 40 meters and a view over the Rio Negro.

Wildlife
History
The Manaus outskirts were shaped by riverside communities and later by the rubber boom; protected APA designations aim to balance local use and conservation.
Conservation
The climb takes place within a managed APA; visitors should follow leave-no-trace rules, avoid disturbing epiphytes, and rely on licensed guides to minimize impact.

Hydrate before and during
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water; the combination of humidity and exertion dehydrates quickly.
Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes
Trails can be muddy and the climb requires secure footing in harness and on tree roots.
Use insect protection
Long sleeves and DEET or picaridin are useful; ticks are uncommon but mosquitoes are frequent.
Schedule morning climbs
Start early to avoid afternoon rains and the hottest part of the day for better wildlife activity.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Provide grip on muddy trails and stable footing during harnessed movements.
Lightweight long-sleeve shirt and pants
Protects from insects and sun while staying breathable in humid conditions.
Insect repellent (DEET or picaridin)
Helps reduce mosquito bites during transfers and at the base camp.
Reusable water bottle (1–2 L)
Staying hydrated is critical in high humidity and during physical exertion.
