Enjoy a unique adventure for the whole family in the stunning Urkiola Natural Park in Spain. For three hours, I’ll guide you through the hiking path of this incredible natural park near Bilbao to discover the magical Cavernas de Sugoi. Follow me!
The Urkiola Natural Park is a mountainous area where you can discover the Basque history, culture and traditions. It has limestone cliffs, ravines and deep valleys, ideal for climbers and hikers. The Jentilzubi arc marks the entrance to the dazzling park.
Our 5.3-kilometer trail will take us to the Baltzola caves, where the genie Sugoi, husband to Mari, a Basque goddess, is supposed to live, hence the name “Cavernas de Sugoi”. On this journey, you’ll learn about Basque traditions and beliefs. Additionally, we can also ascend to the peak of Garaio (574m), one of the most rocky summits in the Ugatxa Mountain, if you want to.
So, are you ready for a thrilling adventure near Bilbao? Then send your request and let me guide you through this mythical park on an adventure for all.
Otherwise, you can also check out the trips I offer for a canyoning and walking weekend in Aínsa and a orienteering one-day course in the Urbasa Range!

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.
