Tropical Tree Climbing was conceived when Leonide Principe began to get his first tree climbing lessons in 1995 to be put in practice on scientific expeditions focused on photographing Amazonian epiphytes, i.e., orchids, bromeliads, etc. That work was undertaken for a project called "Aerial Plants of the Amazon" which was supported and sponsored by the Department of Culture of the Government of the Amazon State of Brazil. Back then, it was a project that gave much to talk about, even on CNN.

Since then, Tropical Tree Climbing has been operating in the Amazon region, taking visitors closer to nature, an experience that allows them to sense a deep connection with the Amazon rainforest.
