Cinco Lagunas is a group of glacial lakes in the Central Massif of Sierra de Gredos. On this 2-day program, I invite you to explore these beautiful lakes in the mountains as well as many other natural spots ideal for hiking lovers. We’ll reach some of the peaks in the range, contemplate breathtaking panoramas and spend the night in a mountain hut.
Our adventure will start at the municipality of Navalperal de Tormes, in Ávila, near Puente de las Ranas. We’ll hike through Garganta del Pinar up to the Cinco Lagunas and reach La Portilla del Rey, at 2,362 meters above sea level. From there, we’ll take the ancient Trocha Real path to our refuge in Laguna Grande, where we’ll spend the night.
On the next day, we’ll follow the same path to the top of El Morezón (2,389 meters) and descend to the ruins of El Refugio del Rey. Then, we’ll continue the walk to Puerto de Candeleda and descend to La Plataforma, where we’ll end our trip.
Please, keep in mind that it’s mandatory to have a very good level of fitness. We’ll cover long distances on our hikes and face a considerable elevation gain each day.
So, are you ready for an exciting trekking adventure in Sierra de Gredos? Then don’t hesitate to send the request and book your place on this trip. I’m sure it will be an experience you’ll never forget!

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.
