Description

If you love hiking, Panama needs to be on your list of countries to visit. The country is full of beautiful jungle and forest trails that you don’t want to miss. On this occasion, we want to invite you on a half-day hike to the El Pianista trail, near Boquete.

This hike will take us through different types of terrains and climatic conditions. We’ll walk through a spectacular wild forest, where we’ll find all types of local flora and fauna.

The trail begins by the IL Pianista restaurant through an open green field with mountains all around. We’ll then enter the cloud forest, where the trail will take us higher and higher. During this part of the trail, we’ll be surrounded by a tunnel of vines and trees and, if we’re lucky, we might spot Quetzals, snakes, howler monkeys, wildflowers and all types of bugs. The trail will then take us to a stunning stream. From this point onwards, the scenery becomes even foggier and magical, with unique types of flowers you’ll love. At the summit, if we are lucky and get a clear day, we’ll enjoy a fantastic view of Boquete. We’ll go down the same way.

The whole hike covers 8.4 kilometers. Take into consideration that your shoes will get muddy. You can bring an extra pair to change once the hike is over.

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.
