The theory classes will take place at Capão Raso, in Curitiba. Then the practical classes will be in Quatro Barras. Finally, we will climb at Morro do Anhangava.

About the guide

Pedro

Mountain Guide

Mountain Guide from Brazil.

I’ve been into mountaineering for the last 17 years. I guide each year climbers to the top peaks and climbing destinations in Central and South East Brazil, and also teach rock climbing courses. Besides, I’m a geographer and have a Ph.D in Geology.

As a climber, I reached 39 +6000m peaks in the Andes! I love to lead expeditions in which I take special care of the safety, and of giving useful information to the clients. Is it about mountaineering, geology or geography, I love to teach!

I’ve been a volunteer in many Brazilian mountaineering organizations, and I directed for some years de Brazilian Mountaineering Confederation, fighting for the free access to climbing areas that were about to be prohibited.

So I’ll love to guide anyone who is interested in discovering mountaineering in Brazil!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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!

Maxine

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.

Joshua

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.
