Description

This half-day hike I will guide you on promises to be a memorable way to experience the region around Florianopolis, as we hike through the lush green Atlantic rainforest to the famous “mystic rocks”, a special and magical place that offers unbeatable views back out over the district of Lagoa da Conceicao and its glorious beaches, and also learn about the history, culture and traditions of the area.

Florianopolis is the capital city of the Southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, and is renowned for its superb sandy beaches and the raw natural beauty of its surrounds, including many lakes and lagoons.

We meet in the morning in Florianopolis, and we then begin the hike in earnest through the rainforest. Along the way we will be teaching you plenty about the exotic and diverse local flora and fauna, as well as impart our wisdom regarding the interesting and odd rock formations that dot the landscape.

We then reach the mountain peak, providing us with sweeping panoramic views back over the myriad of lovely beaches that dominate the area, ensuring you will constantly be reaching for your camera to capture these jaw-dropping and breathtaking views.

It is here that we will learn about the “mystic rocks” themselves, as legend has it they were used thousands of years ago by the native tribes for their rites.

Before heading back down we also learn about the local nature conservation project.

We then finish the hike back in Florianopolis, hopefully having made you fall even more in love with this special part of Brazil.

This is the best and funnest way to spend half a day in Florianopolis – book now to see for yourself!

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.
