Description

This day of rock climbing in Guadalcazar, near San Luis de Potosi, promises to blow you away with the raw natural beauty of the landscape, scenery and terrain of the area, and I will guide you to the magnificent Candelas’ cave, a spot providing excellent and ideal conditions for challenging and rewarding rock climbing.

Guadalcazar is a municipality located in the Northeast of Mexico, and 80km from the state of San Luis de Potosi. The region is increasingly becoming a tourist destination due to its pretty Spanish colonial architecture, as well as outdoor activities like rock climbing, and the long-dormant mining industry has also started up again.

We meet in San Luid de Potosi, and from there we drive to Guadalcazar.

We then walk through the state reserve of Guadalcazar near the end of the Chihuahuan desert, and reach our rock climbing location of Candelas’ cave. Here we will have most of the day to rock climb on the wide array of interesting and different areas, including Gruta de Candelas, San Cayetano, Zelda and Salitre.

The caves themselves have formed over the course of thousands of years, and provide a challenging assignment for you to improve and learn new rock climbing techniques.

After we finish rock climbing, we head back to Guadalcazar via an ancient trail once trodden by horsemen and carts when the mines were at their peak many years ago.

We finish the day back in San Luis de Potosi, weary and content at having climbed such an esteemed and glorious area.

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!

Maxine

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.
