A short distance from the sprawling city of Rio de Janeiro lies the incredible Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range. I’m a certified mountain guide, and I’d like to invite you on this challenging 5-day trek to experience the beauty of this region firsthand.
One highlight of this journey is reaching the top of Pedra da Mina, the fourth highest peak in Brazil. We’ll spend the night at the top after soaking up the amazing panoramic views, and in the morning, we’ll watch the sunrise from this extraordinary perspective.
This is known to be one of the toughest treks in Brazil. Completing it gives you a profound sense of satisfaction and achievement, not to mention bragging rights.
Being surrounded by the picturesque scenery of the Serra da Mantiqueira mountains is sure to fill you with serenity. Challenge yourself to embark on this awe-inspiring journey.

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.
