Description

Join me on this 1+ day adventure of rock climbing and I guarantee you will bear witness to some of the most gorgeous and magnificent scenery in Mexico, as we climb up and down the beautiful basalt cliffs that dot the area in abundance, with mesmerizing waterfalls flowing down to the valley below.

The colonial town of Aculco, located approximately 130km North of Mexico City, has a long and distinguished history dating back to around 1110 AD, when it was founded by the Otomies. The Spanish arrived in 1540, which is where the majority of its marvelous and pretty architecture comes from, and it is increasingly becoming well-known for its offering of outdoor activities and its cheese and milk industry.

We meet in the morning in Mexico City, where we will then drive to Aculco itself. From there it is a short walk to the rock climbing locations, located in the gullies that lead to the river.

Once there we begin rock climbing in earnest, with a heavy emphasis on the technique of crack climbing, and there are several bends within the canyon, ensuring a variety of climbing, such as in the shade or sun.

The basalt surfaces here are very smooth on the skin, despite its hard exterior, and this means that the climbs we do will be more pleasant feeling that on traditional cliff surfaces.

There are plenty of things to see and do in the town of Aculco when not rock climbing, and there will be ample time to explore.

We finish the day having climbed to our hearts content in one of the more spectacular places to indulge in rock climbing in Mexico, hopefully having made you fall in love with the area a little bit more.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.
