Description

Discover the unique views of Cinque Terre on this 7-day adventure across the Italian Riviera. You won’t regret your choice!

Cinque Terre is a group of villages in La Spezia province, on the Italian Riviera by the Ligurian Sea. The villages in this area are Corniglia, Manarola, Monterosso, Riomaggiore and Vernazza and belong also to the Cinque Terre National Park. With its vineyards, colorful houses and natural terraces by the sea, the area was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Here is where our program will take place.

Our hikes will lead us across the beautiful local vineyards and the wilderness areas between the land and the sea. On our way, we’ll taste some of the delicious local wines and products and learn about the area from the locals.

Kayaking will allow us to contemplate the colorful houses above astonishing cliffs as well as the crystalline waters. We’ll even get the chance to see some of the lovely dolphins in the sea! In addition, we’ll have the chance to enjoy snorkeling and discover marine flora and fauna underwater.

To take part of this adventure, it’s not necessary to have any prior experience. Would you miss it? Please, send the request to book your place if you’re interested in this tour. I’ll be happy to show you the wonders of Cinque Terre!

I also lead kayaking programs on Elba Island and Finale Ligure. Check them out!

Nature Guide

I am Cristina Puppo, a mountain guide, traveler and sportswoman.

I love both the sea and the mountains: intact wilderness areas are the environments I enjoy.

On every opportunity I have, I like to take my time and explore slowly, whether close to home or around the world. I also enjoy practicing my favorite sports and activities: hiking, skiing, rock climbing, mountaineering, kayaking or sailing, as well as discovering the underwater life while snorkeling. But it is human encounters that make the experience even more unique, anywhere you go!

I have a degree in Forestry and Environmental Sciences and chose it because I wanted my office to be in the wilderness. At first, I dreamed about the beautiful forests of northern Europe. One day, I missed my flight and found myself in Mali! In the end, I stayed in Africa for about 7 years and organized environmental and humanitarian projects for small NGOs.

At this moment, I live between Italy and France. In Grenoble, I obtained a Master in Economic Strategies in Sport and Tourism. In addition, I worked in the Ailefroide area at the Guides des Ecrins office.

My job is to organize trips for small groups in both popular and lesser known locations. I am interested in choosing the perfect time and place so we can live exciting experiences from start to finish. Are you fit? Together, we will discover the most beautiful and unusual places while hiking, kayaking, mountaineering, snorkeling or climbing.

Choose the activity that you love! I will take care of the accommodation and offer you delicious picnics and dinners prepared with local and healthy products. And if you come with your family, I will organize itineraries that allow you to combine the pleasure of being with your loved ones and the adrenaline of your favorite sports!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.

Cami

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.
