The guided session with Ricardo was amazing. He is incredibly knowledgeable, with lots of insights into the area and history of the local climbing scene. He is friendly, chilled and made the session really fun. He had some great climbing tips and even took me to some newly discovered lines.

It has been incredible to discover bouldering in a place with an almost mystical atmosphere. It was a day spent in great company with other climbers and a fantastic guide. He made us appreciate climbing in Sintra to the fullest thanks to his numerous tips and great experience. I would without a doubt recommend such an experience!"
Antonio & Isidora
Visitantes
The experience was incredible, Sintra is a wonderful place to climb, but at the same time extremely large, which is why I think it is necessary to have a guided tour, regardless of the level of climbing that you have. Our guide Ricardo showed us beautiful places to climb Boulder, with an incredible quality of rock and a beautiful landscape, was very attentive to us, worrying about our safety when climbing and also giving us the necessary Beta to be able to reach the top of the boulders in the best way, very happy for the experience and fully recommended for anyone who wants to know Sintra Boulder spots."
Rita

I had my first outdoor bouldering experience with Boulder Sintra and it was absolutely great! Ricardo is very kind and his experience and knowledge of the area allowed him to choose boulders appropriate to the group's climbing levels: not too easy, not extremely hard, but still representing a good challenge. Overall, an experience I would absolutely like to repeat!"
