Description

Panama is a beautiful country, home of cosmopolitan cities, enchanting towns and natural paradises. So, the hiking options in this magical place are endless. However, there is one place that stands out for its beauty: La Artilleria. Join one of our certified guides on this hiking adventure in Boquete.

This is a short yet incredibly rewarding trek. As it will take us first across a mesmerizing farmland, so we can learn about the crops farmers typically grow here and their importance.

Then, we’ll head to a stunning cloud forest, also known as a montane rainforest. Due to the heavy rainfall, as well as the persistent condensation, cloud forests are home of dense vegetation. The moisture-laden air cools the region, deflecting it upward by the peaks. Also, the trees here have a curious shape, normally short and crooked. Hiking through them is a one in a lifetime spectacle!

Thereupon, we’ll reach a majestic volcanic rock formation. Under this formation, there is a small intriguing cave we can check out. And above it, we’ll enjoy the best views of the Volcán Barú, and the Pacific Ocean. Furthermore, we’ll get to enjoy unrivaled sceneries of the Boquete region.

What’s more, this area has a huge historical importance, as many claim indigenous troops used it to store weapons. Located in the Valley of Boquete, on its eastern side, it stands at about 1,700 meters above sea level. Also, it forms part of an area called Alto Jaramillo, famous as well for its natural beauty.

So there are many reasons not to miss this fantastic place. If you wish to join this trek, don’t hesitate and send us a request.

You can also trek across the El Pianista trail, in the Boquete region as well.

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.
