Description

Journey through the dry forest and thick scrubland that slope up the towering El Morro of the Dominican Republic.

The crab trail takes you through a challenging and rocky terrain, yet once reaching the summit you’ll discover incredible panoramic views swooping across the Atlantic Ocean.

Glancing across the other side you’ll see the vast farmlands of Montecristi, a province in the northwest of the Dominican Republic.

We’ll time the hike just right so that we’ll be relaxing on the summit just as the sun swings down and sets beyond the mountainside.

El Morro is a stunning limestone outcrop that rises to 242 meters above sea level. It pierces the skyline over the Montecristi coast.

Mangroves extend across a landscape dominated by dry and subtropical forest, as well as a network of waterways dotted with beautiful lagoons perfect to take a dip.

Meanwhile the wildlife wanders through the forests and mangroves of El Morro, including iguanas, waterfowls, herons and the American oystercatcher.

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.
