Great experience - thank you!

Really great experience. I’ve done bouldering but never outdoor climbing and this was a really good first experience. The instructions were clear, I felt safe and appreciated the advice, guidance and encouragement that was offered as I tackled the climbing routes.

Awesome Climbing Experience in Arequipa!

If you’re after something different from the usual tourist stuff, this outdoor climbing is a great pick. The spot’s close to the city, so it doesn’t take up your whole day. Our guide Eduardo was super friendly and explained everything clearly. We felt safe the whole time. Even if you’ve never climbed outside before, you’ll be in good hands. We had a blast and totally recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of adventure!

Fantastic!

Meghan_F, Oct 2024

Fantastic! No hiking involved to get to the climbing area - it is right next to the parking lot. Lots of bugs like sand flies / mites. Wear long sleeves, pants, and bug spray.

Thanks for your feedback and reminding! Keep climbing around Latinoamerica! :)

Excellent guides and experience

Our second time using these folks for our rock climbing in Erika and again, it was excellent. Super knowledgeable, flexible, and friendly tour guide Joshua was terrific.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thanks for chosing us again! We´d love to climb with you and your kids again :)

Had a blast climbing in Chilina Valley!

This tour is tons of fun. I have some experience climbing outdoors and at indoor climbing gyms. There were a variety of routes for all skill levels. Our guide was very helpful and provided lots of great tips.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

I´m glad you enjoyed the rockclimbing experience and also the indoor boulder in Arequipa! Best wishes in your trip!

Great Tour

Julie_C, Jul 2024

Had a great time rock climbing in Arequipa! They took me on the tour even though I was the only person signed up, which I appreciated -- when I had this issue with other tours they cancelled my booking. The instructor was very nice and provided helpful tips. I definitely felt I improved my climbing!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We never cancel! We are very serious taking care of your schedule and our mission is to give a good experience climbing in Arequipa

We had a good time...

Sarah_M, Sep 2023

We had a good time climbing with Juan Carlos. This wasn't a private activity which it said in the information provided here, but only 4 of us so still a small group. It was a mixture of abilities but there was challenging climbs for everyone. We were the only climbers at the crag so full choice of routes. Quite a few midges so would recommend full length clothing

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi Sarah! Thanks a lot for your Review and recommendations! Best wishes for your trip in the rest of Perú :)

Definitely book this...

Olivia_C, Jul 2023

Definitely book this experience! I had a great time climbing with Alejandro. I have some experience so we were able to go to an area with slightly more difficult routes, which was very cool and felt more unique. Great value and no wait, as we were able to coordinate via whatsapp.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Gracias Olivia!! We try to fit in our customers experience and needs. I´m happy you enjoyed your time with us!

1st time climbing with Alejandro

Troy_A, Apr 2023

Alejandro was an awesome and patient guide! Of the 4 routes on offer i managed to climb 3 of them! My arms failed me on the 4th! Not bad for a 1st timer! 😇😇😇

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thanks a lot for your Review! Is always good to move and explore a country practicing new things 😁

Alejandro was great at...

Corneliu_M, Apr 2022

Alejandro was great at providing the right amount of challenge for us, building up the difficulty across 3 climbs, and giving us tips when we were stuck. He also told us about Arequipa and its surroundings, different options for active sports, and his own experiences with climbing and bouldering. Totally recommend it, thank you for the awesome afternoon!
