* Visit the natural beauty of Tuscany, in the Apennines Mountains.
* Enjoy canyoning on a full 1-day trip towards the stunning Orrido di Botri.
* Descend the longest and most imposing gorge in the region.
Tucked away in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines Mountains, neighbouring the green-covered peaks of Alpe Tre Potenze and Rondianio, lies the beautiful gorge of Orrido di Botri.
Located in a nature reserve, carved out by the rivers of Mariana and Ribellina, the gorges are home to environmental treasures, from its unique geology and landscape to its flora and fauna. The two rivers finally unite into the Rio Pelago that runs through the last gorge.
The Rio Mariana is home to a number of rope rappels to the confluence with the Rio Ribellina.
Beginning in the Tuscan city of Lucca, we ascend to the Casentini refuge, resting at the entrance of the gorge. The descent will take us approximately 3-5 hours and we will end in the touristic section of the area which will take another hour.
Reserve your place among the stunning Tuscan setting and experience canyoning on this full day descent to the lovely large gorge of Orrido di Botri. Discover the treasures of wild Tuscany.

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.
