Climb an Angelim over 40 meters on the outskirts of Manaus and peer across the forest canopy to the Rio Negro. This half-day guided climb in Tarumã APA combines secure rope systems, bilingual guides, and close-up encounters with orchids, birds, and canopy life.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a shuttle where the pavement thins and the air smells of wet earth and green sap. A narrow trail threads through secondary forest in the Tarumã APA and soon the understory opens beneath a single Angelim—an evergreen hardwood rising just over 40 meters. From the harness the forest rearranges: orchids and bromeliads cling to trunks, insect calls fill the layers, and the Rio Negro glints beyond a green roof.

Wildlife
History
The Manaus region expanded rapidly during the rubber boom of the late 19th century; protected areas like Tarumã APA were later designated to conserve remaining forest patches near the city.
Conservation
The climb operates inside an APA (sustainable use area) so stick to established trails and avoid disturbing epiphytes; small-group, low-impact visits help limit erosion and canopy damage.
