Description

Join a certified local guide on a rappelling and hiking adventure in Rio de Janeiro. We’ll escape the city centre for the day and head to Turtle Stone in the Pedra Branca State Park in Southeast Brazil.

This area is much quieter than in the city. With its pristine beaches, lush green landscape and rugged cliffs, it’s also incredibly beautiful. It’s the perfect setting for a few hours of rappelling and hiking.

You’ll enjoy the stunning setting as you rappel down beachside cliffs of around 40 metres (if you have a fear of heights, this may not be the trip for you!). Rest assured we will take you through all of the safety measures and show you how it’s done. We will also be there every step of the way to offer tips to help you.

Then we’ll spend the rest of the day hiking through this beautiful landscape. You’ll learn about the natural flora and fauna of the area and more.

This is a really fun day out, book now and we’ll see you soon in Rio!

While you’re here be sure to check out this unmissable 1-day kayaking trip in Rio de Janeiro (Guanabara Bay)

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.
