Follow the footsteps of Richard Hammond and spend a night up a tree in the Amazon Jungle
Bespoke Brazil, in partnership with Tropical Tree Climbing Brazil, offer you the chance to follow in the footsteps of Richard Hammond and explore the Amazon, spending a night up a tree.
Former Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond headed to the Amazon rainforest a couple of months ago with our partners Tropical Tree Climbing to journey into the rainforest and fulfil a lifelong dream to photograph some of the planet's most amazing creatures in Richard Hammond's Jungle Quest.
During his two-part series for Sky 1, Richard trekked through the steamy Amazon jungle, tackled the mighty River, slept rough under the forest canopy and was hoisted hundreds of feet to the top of Amazon trees, in a bid to get the perfect wildlife shot.
Viewing the Amazon from on top of a tree is an amazing experience and offers a totally different view of the forest than is ordinarily possible.
You will be able to climb up to 200 feet above the forest floor and marvel over your chance to move among the rainforest's native flora and fauna. From the top you can gaze out over the forest canopies at the exotic birds and spectacular wildlife, finding natural mosquito repellent.
If the weather is clement then you can sleep in hammocks at the top of the tree and this is perfectly safe due to the stringent safety procedures used by our instructors who will harness you to the tree.
Our guests are usually TV presenters, celebrities, photographers, scientists and nature lovers of all ages. Our local team evaluates the best way to give each customer the best experience and help them enjoy the canopy climbs as much as possible. The activity is always complemented with additional information about what flora, fauna and biodiversity are in the Amazon Rainforest and the importance of trees to our environment and how their increase our quality of life.
It's an incredible way to experience this remarkable piece of nature.
