About the guide: Pedro

Pedro

Mountain Guide

Mountain Guide from Brazil.

I’ve been into mountaineering for the last 17 years. I guide each year climbers to the top peaks and climbing destinations in Central and South East Brazil, and also teach rock climbing courses. Besides, I’m a geographer and have a Ph.D in Geology.

As a climber, I reached 39 +6000m peaks in the Andes! I love to lead expeditions in which I take special care of the safety, and of giving useful information to the clients. Is it about mountaineering, geology or geography, I love to teach!

I’ve been a volunteer in many Brazilian mountaineering organizations, and I directed for some years de Brazilian Mountaineering Confederation, fighting for the free access to climbing areas that were about to be prohibited.

So I’ll love to guide anyone who is interested in discovering mountaineering in Brazil!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
