Tropical Tree Climbing

Overview

Description

We are an ecotourism and adventure travel company specializing in recreational tree climbing and wildlife photography in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. Tropical Tree Climbing’s mission is to provide their visitors with a truly exciting and low-impact adventure travel option. Our objective is to protect, connect, explore, and raise awareness on a deeper level about the Brazilian Amazon through sustainable ecotourism.

Let us take you on an unforgettable experience into the upper reaches of the canopy. This is your opportunity to spend some magical time aloft, drifting into what we call "tree time" in the Amazon rainforest.

Making a Difference

• Protection of the local environment: we are committed to respecting all living things and minimizing impacts by having small group sizes.
• Energy: We operate as electronically as possible so that our business can be paperless. We implement energy-saving practices such as turning off lights when they're not in use, using low-energy light bulbs and re-chargeable batteries, and opening windows instead of using air conditioning.
• Travel: Our clients' carbon emissions are offset by Tropical Tree Climbing's 100% Carbon Neutral Program. All contributions go to our social and conservation projects. In addition, we plan trips to the city in advance so that we only use the car every two weeks.
• Water: We use environmentally-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products. We give our clients natural toiletries made by local people.
• Waste: We use glasses, cups, and stainless steel cutlery instead of disposable ones. In cases where we really need to use paper, we use recycled paper.
• Resource use: Excellence in guiding and outfitting services to ensure the safety of the client is paramount.
• Employment: We provide Tree Climbing Certification Courses for individuals aspiring to become professionals in the outdoor eco-adventure industry.
• Economy: We support local experts and services to benefit the local economy. We collaborate with local producers and artisans and buy their services and products.
• Culture: Our authentic educational experiences highlight local, natural, and cultural history.
