Description

At 2892 meters above sea level, Pico da Bandeira is the third highest peak in Brazil. It’s situated inside the Caparaó National Park, in the Espirito Santo state, near the border with Minas Gerais.

During this full-day program, we’ll start with a nice walk. We’ll go across a wilderness area and contemplate dry landscapes all around us. There will be several places to stop to rest and take pictures after some sections that will present a fun challenge. As we move forward, we’ll get to see great views of the valley and the surrounding mountains.

Once we reach the summit, the most amazing landscape will greet us. An exciting sight of the neighbor peaks through the clouds will be the reward to our efforts. We assure you, you will get an unforgettable view!

Take into account that some of the hiking sections might be steep and demanding. That’s why it’s important to have a good level of fitness for this trip.

So, are you ready for this trek to the summit of Pico da Bandeira? Then don’t hesitate to send the request to book your place so we can start preparing for this adventure. You won’t regret your choice!

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.
