Description

I would like to invite you to discover the east side of the Madeira Island on this 1-day program across Ponta de San Lourenço. Come with and spend a lovely day in a remote wilderness area in Portugal.

On this trip, we’ll take a 4-kilometer trail that will lead us through the peninsula and the Madeira Natural Park. Due to its volcanic origin, we’ll be able to contemplate amazing rock formations on the way. Also, we’ll get to see beautiful cliffs and breathtaking landscapes by the sea.

The arid weather conditions in Madeira Island make it a wonderful place to discover rare and gorgeous animals and plants. For instance, among the fauna, we’ll find the seagull and the sea wolf. If we’re lucky, we’ll have the chance to spot them. Part of the local vegetation can only be found on this island.

Please, keep in mind that we’ll spend 2-3 hours hiking and face an elevation gain of around 100 meters. So, it’s important to be in good physical shape.

So, would you like to explore Ponta de San Lourenço? Then get in touch with me by sending the request to book your place on this trip. I’m sure you’ll love exploring the stunning wilderness of Madeira.

Another option could be this hiking trip from Pico do Areeiro to Pico Ruivo. Check it out!

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.
