Description

Enjoy a unique adventure in the Andes that combines the sport of rock climbing with ancient history.

Upon arrival, our certified guide-instructor will give you a technical briefing and provide you with all the necessary gear: rock climbing shoes (climbing shoes) and magnesium (chalk) for a perfect grip.

You'll push your physical limits on routes and overhangs tailored to your experience level.
