Description

Get ready to explore one of Brazil’s hidden treasures: the Gruta do Lago Azul. Just 20 minutes outside the city of Bonito in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, this stunning lake can only be accessed with a guide. Follow us to this impressive natural gem.

Gruta do Lago Azul is a breathtaking cave-like rock formation with an intense blue lake inside. It is one of the biggest inundated cavities in the world, where archeologists have found animal fossils including those of giant sloths and saber-toothed tigers. It is a natural monument which guarantees its conservation and is also the postcard image of Bonito city.

Our hike to the lake will take us through an uneven path and a 300-step staircase. The whole adventures takes around 3 to 4 hours to complete, with enough time for you to enjoy the views and take as many pictures as you want.

This is a relatively easy adventure you can carry out with kids as young as 5 years old. We recommend coming between September and February, when the lake acquires its intense blue color due to the reflecting light.

So send your request and we’ll take you to this naturally beautiful spot.

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.
