Description

I will guide you on this truly awesome and stunning 1-week trek in the Chapada Diamantina National Park in Bahia, Brazil, a park with absolutely jaw-dropping and breath-taking scenery around every turn, with lush green forest, vast valleys, majestic mountains, mesmerizing waterfalls and countless exotic species of flora and fauna making for a kaleidoscope of colour and allure.

The Chapada Diamantina National Park is located in the East of Brazil, in the state of Bahia, and includes such features as the highest waterfall in Brazil (390m) and housing such protected species as cougar’s, jaguar’s, oncilla’s, giant armadillos and giant anteaters.

We meet on the first day in the old diamond mining town of Lencois, and the afternoon is spent exploring this quaint, charming and rustique colonial town.

Over the course of the subsequent 7 days we will be heading out early each morning to explore and discover as much of the national park as we can, with every day full of activities such as hiking through the numerous valleys forests and mountains, swimming in the myriad of pools, springs and lakes, and taking in the sweeping panoramic views out over the exquisite landscape and terrain.

Highlights of the trip include visiting Cachoeira da Fumaca, the highest waterfall in Brazil at 390m high, ascending to the summit of the postcard-pretty top of Fumaca, seeing the awesome ‘Cave of the Castle’, a humongous quartzite cave, and hiking along an old pack-horse and mining trail to the cute village of Guine.

We finish the trip on the 9th day, happy at having spent the previous week marveling at some of the most magnificent, superb and lovely natural scenery in Brazil.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
