Description

I will guide you on this half-day bike tour of Bogota, Colombia, where not only will we explore and delve in to the beautiful and colourful district of La Candelaria, winding our way through its colonial-era landmarks and cobblestone streets, but we will also learn about the complex, rich, interesting and at-times violent history and culture of the city.

Bogota is the largest and capital city of Colombia, located in the centre of the country on a plateau nestled with the Andes Mountains. The popular “old town” district of La Candelaria is filled with museums, theaters and squares, and its buildings are a gorgeous blend of Spanish Colonial, baroque and art deco.

Our tour meets in the morning, where all relevant safety and gear information is dispensed. We then head off riding in earnest, as we cycle our way around the truly stunning streets of La Candelaria.

Some of the highlights of the trip include visits to Plaza del Chorro, Botero Museum, National Museum, Plaza Bolivar, Plaza San Victorino, Central Cemetry and the famous fruit markets of the area.

Along the way there will be ample time to admire the street art and monuments that dominate the landscape of the region, and we will also take the time to teach you about some of the violent history of the late 20th century civil war, and how it affected the people and regions of the country.

After a half-day of riding around our tour ends, hopefully having taught you about this city and its inspiring people and neighborhoods, and motivated you to explore and research more about this truly special place.

This is one of the most pleasant and magnificent ways to spend a half-day exploring Bogota – book now to experience!

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.
