Description
Christ the Redeemer is an icon of Rio and a tourist destination that lives up to the hype. The imposing statue is located atop Corcovado Mountain, 700 meters above the bustling city. The panoramic views at the top are incredible.
The most common way to the peak is by train, but for anyone up for a challenge, there’s an even better way to go. Join me, a local guide, on a beautiful trek up Corcovado Mountain.
The trek takes us a couple of hours, so you’ll have time to appreciate the lush mountain scenery. The trail starts off easy but quickly becomes steeper. The most difficult part of the trail is a portion with steep rock, where you can use a chain to pull yourself up.
Just when you’re feeling tired, you’ll catch a glimpse of the city from a new perspective and be renewed with inspiration. You’ll reach Christ the Redeemer with a sense of achievement and appreciation for the beauty of the mountain.
As your guide, I’ll be there to help you along and tell you all about the fascinating monument and city.
Challenge yourself to take the most active route to this extraordinary destination!

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.
