Description

Suesca is the most popular and developed climbing area in Colombia, located only 40 km (1 hour) from Colombia’s capital, Bogota. The climbing there is very safe and not difficult for beginners.

Suesca is also the birthplace of rock climbing in Colombia. It is surrounded by an impressive landscape of forests, rivers and a train lane. I propose you to join me there for one or more days for a great climbing experience.

We will meet at 09:00 at the entrance of the Suesca Rocks. We need to walk for less than 1 kilometer to approach the crag, on a very unstable path over the train lane. Once there, you find many single or multipitch climbing routes between 5.7 and 5.13 and the climbing begins!

It is possible go out for lunch or you can bring a box lunch for a nice picnic in front of the rocks in the middle of beautiful nature. In the afternoon we will continue rock climbing. We can also go hiking around the crag and return over to the rocks. You can check the day itinerary below.

You don’t need any special climbing skills to join me on this program. Suesca is an ideal crag for beginners and experts alike. Depending on your previous experience and wishes, we will choose the best itinerary for you.

So what are you waiting for? If you want to enjoy a great climbing experience near Bogota, just send me a request, book your trip and join me in Suesca!

About the guide

Luis

Rock Climbing Instructor

Hi, my name is Luis. I am an engineer who has made the mountains my way of life. I live in Machetá, a small village 80 km north of Bogotá, where is one of the best climbing spots in the country. I have been a travel guide throughout Colombia since 2007 and in 2013 I was certified by the Association of Mountain Guides and Climbers in Colombia (ACGME) as a Rock Climbing Instructor.

I can take you to the some of the many climbing sites in the country, mainly in Suesca, Machetá and Sutatausa, very close to Bogotá. Also, we can go on trekkings and outings and enjoy walks through Colombia’s stunning nature.

In addition to providing for maximum safety possible during the climbs, I am also a writer for mountain magazines and a I love stories, so I always enjoy a good conversation during a day of climbing. Contact me and we will plan your next climbing or hiking adventure in Colombia!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.
