Description

I will guide you on this truly awesome and amazing half-day of mountain biking, as we traipse and travail through the postcard-pretty and exquisite old colonial town of Paraty, before we cycle in to the Serra da Bocaina National Park, where we will ride through its vivacious and green vegetation to the mesmerizing and magnificent waterfalls located within.

The Serra da Bocaina National Park is located on the border of the states of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo in Brazil, some 200km from the city of Rio de Janeiro. The park contains some of the most preservated-forested area in Brazil, and is home to a myriad of animals such as cats, sloths, deer, monkeys, snakes and birds.

Our tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel, and from the beginning we bike to and around the lovely old town of Paraty, also taking in the town fort and local beaches.

From there we then head to the national park, in which there are a wide array of paths, routes and trails to take. Once on them we are able to take in and appreciate the sheer scale of the raw natural beauty around us, the greenery and abundance of different waterways meaning you will be taking your camera out constantly.

We then reach the spectacular and superb waterfalls, which provide jaw-dropping and breath-taking views that will make you never want to leave.

We finish the activity in the afternoon after having cycled back to Paraty from the national park, hopefully having made you fall in love with the region and made you want to come back for more.

This is one of the loveliest ways to spend a half-day in Brazil – book now to have a go!

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.
