Description

This 2-day trek I will lead you on takes us through the truly stunning, beautiful and idyllic Serra dos Orgaos National Park, near Rio, as we wind our way through some of the most exquisite rainforest in the country, passing the vast tracts of valleys, waterways and waterfalls, sheer cliffs and thousands of species of flora and fauna to reach the highest summit in the park, Pedra do Sino.

The Serra dos Orgaos National Park is mostly located within the state of Rio de Janiero, just a 2-hour drive from the city of Rio de Janiero, and was created as Brazil’s third ever national park, in 1939.

We begin by meeting in the city of Teresopolis, where all relevant safety information and gear is dispensed.

From there we begin our trek in earnest, as we traipse and travail through and past the thick green vegetation, the numerous waterfalls and the rocky outcrops.

There will be plenty of stops for us to take in and bask in the scenery around us, and once we reach the peak of Pedra do Sino in the afternoon we are exposed to sweeping and spectacular panoramic views back over the park and all the way to Rio de Janeiro and Guanabara Bay. We stay for a while, allowing as much time as possible to admire the views, and also the special sunset.

After a night spent in a cosy, quaint and rustique mountain hut, we trek on the Caminho das Orquideas trail, lined with lovely exotic orchids, before reaching another viewpoint which overlooks the “Devil’s Needle” rock formation.

After this viewpoint it is time to head back to Teresopolis, where our journey ends with a head full of memories and a heart full of love for this Brazilian paradise.

This trek promises to be the ultimate way to spend 2 days in Brazil – book now to experience!

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.
