Description

Meet an experienced guide on Copacabana Beach for a day full of adventure. We’ll explore the Rio de Janeiro coastline by bike, then hike up the Two Brother’s Hill, or Morro Dois Irmãos, in Portuguese. Then, we’ll enjoy some of the best views of the city.

We’ll start our day cycling along Copacabana Beach to Ipanema Beach. This part of Rio is a hive of activity and has great energy. We’ll soak all this up as we soar past, occasionally stopping for photo ops. After Ipanema Beach, we’ll leave our bikes and head up to the starting point of our hike.

On the way, we’ll drive through the Vidigal favela. As a local, your guide is super knowledgable and will be able to give you lots of information about the favela.

After we pass through the favela, we’ll jump out to begin our ascent of the Two Brothers Hill. It’ll take us around two hours in total to hike up and down. You’ll be able to hike through lush vegetation right here in the city. Then, you’ll be able to enjoy spectacular views from the top. You’ll see the beaches you cycled along as well as the iconic “Christ the Redeemer” statue, the Tijuca Forest and more!

We’ll go back the same way that we came, and the day will end back at Copacabana Beach.

This is a seriously fun trip that you do not want to miss, so book now!

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.
