Description

Only 7 kilometers from Canela, as well as the center of Gramado, in the Serra Gaucha, Rio Grande do Sul, lies a magnificent place you cannot miss: the Caracol State Park.

Parque do Caracol as it is known in portuguese, is the second most visited place in the south of Brazil. With many marvelous things to see and explore in this enormous country, to have such a huge reputation talks about its incomparable beauty.

Reaching the park is easy. And the place has been well preserved. Therefore, visitors can enjoy its endless and amazing hiking trails. Furthermore, we’ll encounter many recreational spots, along with restaurants, snack bars and shops, as well as an ambiental history center and an ecological center. The latter, provides a breathtaking 360 degree view of the area, as it stands at 27 meters, towering over this wonderful place.

But it is the Caracol Falls undoubtedly one of the most amazing features of this mesmerizing park. And it is one of the most famous landmarks of  Rio Grande do Sul. The Caracol Falls is a dazzling 131 meters cascade, within an enchanting valley.

There are different ways to reach this impressive spot. We could take the famous “Shaky Leg’s Ladder” which has 730 steps. If you choose this option, be prepared to challenge yourself. However, the views you’ll get during this ascent, will make it completely worth it. Or, we could take a cable car, which has an extra cost.

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.
