Description

In the northeastern part of Colombia, there are two enchanting towns: Barichara and Guane. These small and mesmerizing villages offer unrivalled scenic trekking paths, ideal for this day hike along the Camino Real.

Barichara and Guane from part of the Heritage Villages of Colombia. Thus, its cobbled streets, lovely houses and historical buildings are the best option for those seeking a trekking adventure. The Camino Real path connects both villages with a 9 kilometer pathway.

A section of this trail forms part of the ancient Camino de Herradura, which extended to Girón, close to Bucaramanga, and Barrancabermeja, along the Magdalena River. The Guane indigenous people built the trail, which the Spanish later used as well. And it was restored in 1864. So the hike across it will not only offer breathtaking sceneries, it will also teach us about its historical and cultural importance.

Then, each town has its own charm. Barichara, for instance is one of the best preserved colonial villages in the country. But Guane is equally dazzling, with beautiful streets that invite adventurers to discover.

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.
