Description

Ready to explore the wonders of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil? Then follow us for a unique adventure biking and hiking to Morro da Urca in Copacabana, all in one day.

We’ll begin by riding our bikes from Copacabana beach to Praia Vermelha (Red Beach). From there, we’ll hike towards Morro da Urca. Along the way, we’ll get to see the local flora and fauna and, if we’re lucky, we’ll bump into marmoset monkeys. We can stop at the smaller hill for some photos and sightseeing and, if you like, we can ride the cable car up to Sugar Loaf (Pão de Açúcar) – we strongly recommend this. We’ll then hike back to the starting point and ride our bikes back to Copacabana. There’s the option to enjoy local food and drinks at the end of the hike at Mureta da Urca.

The Sugar Loaf is one of Rio’s most iconic landmarks that sits at the Guanabara Bay by the Atlantic Ocean. The cable car offers breathtaking 360°-views of all the Rio beaches, downtown Rio, Corcovado, Guanabara Bay, and others.

So, what are you waiting for? Then book your trip now and get ready to be blown away with the views.

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.
