Description

Dive into one of Mexico City’s most representative forests. The stunning Bosque de la Cañada de Contreras is an incredible spot to enjoy nature. Follow us for a unique day in the city.

The protected Bosque de la Cañada de Contreras is a leafy and humid forest just an hour away from the city center. You might also hear it called Los Dínamos Park, which is a section of the whole protected area. The views in this spot are simply stunning and it is a perfect place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The area covers 2,429 hectares filled with streams, rivers and waterfalls.

On this hiking day, we’ll ascend a peak of 3,460 meters above sea level. We’ll cover 5 kilometers in 4 hours. Participants should be, at least, 10 years old and physically healthy, due to the altitude we’ll be gaining. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you!

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.
