Description
Join us on this 3-day trip to the solitary coast of the Beagle Channel to see San Pio lighthouse, the southernmost lighthouse in the world.
Located in the beautiful province of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, in the southern tip of South America, this lighthouse is definitely worth visiting. The approach along the edge of Peninsula Mitre is stunning. The steep cliffs and the long beaches in the region hold the stories of the local indigenous tribes that once inhabited the land and of ancient sailors that explored it.
We’ll begin our trip by taking a road trip through the beautiful valleys of the Fuegian Andes. We will drive along the banks of the Beagle Channel until we reach Estancia Moat, the starting point of the trek. As you begin to hike on the secluded banks, you’ll spot just a few travelers and a gaucho or two gathering cattle. After a good hike of about 5 hours, you will reach the campsite near Casa Vieja, a former Gauchos post to enjoy a night in Patagonia.
On the next day, we will begin our hike to the lighthouse. We will walk along beautiful beaches and reach the lighthouse where we will catch some stunning views. Additionally, we might also spot a few sea lions relaxing on the beach. On the last day of our adventure, we’ll head back to Moat and finally to Ushuaia to end this incredible trip.

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.
