Description

Join me on this 3-day kayaking adventure around Paraty, Costa Verde, and we will discover and find some of the best-hidden natural gems of Brazil, as we kayak around arguably some of the best coastal scenery in all of the country while taking in the glorious surroundings of bays, beaches, waterfalls, jungle and exotic local flora and fauna.

Paraty is a popular tourist destination located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, along the Costa Verde, a magnificent stretch of coast on the Atlantic Ocean. It has a postcard-pretty Portuguese colonial centre, and is increasingly known as a place for artists to live and work.

We meet on the first morning in Rio de Janeiro, from where we then head to Paraty. The afternoon and evening is spent wandering and around getting to know the town itself.

The 2nd day is when we being paddling in earnest, as we kayak around the truly picturesque and exquisite headlands, stopping at islands along the way, including one with an opportunity to spot endangered Golden Lion Tamarin monkeys.

Day 3 begins with a 500m hike up the nearby Sugar Loaf Mountain, allowing us unparalleled views over the coast and Brazil’s only tropical fjord. We then spend the afternoon kayaking around the mangroves and water of a natural marine sanctuary, home to over 100 different fish species.

The final day contains paddling to the small village of ‘Little Paraty’, a historically important place that was used as a slavery dropping off point in the past.

We then finish the trip back in Paraty, weary and content at the awesome kayaking we have indulged in and the special sights we have seen.

This is a unique and fun way to discover the hidden delights of Brazil – book now to experience!

Man

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.
