FAQs: Rock Climbing in Peru
What should I know about Rock Climbing Peru?
Peru is an incredibly biodiverse country, containing almost every Köppen climate zone. Two mountain ranges, both of which are part of the Andes, run through the country. It is in these ranges that rock climbing opportunities abound.
Many of the top rock climbing spots are located right outside of Lima, heading up into the mountains also yields excellent climbing spots and conditions. Getting closer to the ancient Incan capital of Cusco allows you to combine rock climbing with some sightseeing.
Reserve at least one day of your trip to hike up into the mountains and see the ancient city of Machu Picchu. Be sure to reserve a spot in advance as they tend to fill up, especially during the high season (June to August).
Why should I choose Peru for my Rock Climbing adventure?
Spectacular scenery
Peru is one of the most diverse and beautiful countries in the entire world. With mountains, valleys, glaciers, rainforest and deserts, there is so much to see. Rock climbing gets you out into the wilderness and allows you to see some of this spectacular scenery from above.
Plenty of variety
The perk of having a country dominated by mountains is that there is no shortage of excellent rock climbing opportunities. Take advantage of single and multi-pitch ascents and do some excellent trad, sport or alpine climbing.
Other outdoor activities
Since most rock climbing trips to Peru last for about a day or so, there is plenty of time to try other excellent outdoor activities here. Take advantage of beautiful scenery and go hiking. You could also try your hand at mountaineering or ice climbing here too. Be sure to head to Machu Picchu before you leave.
What can I expect from the weather in Peru?
During the winter, temperatures are quite cool and get colder the higher up in elevation that you are. However, this is the dry season, which receives very little rain. Climbing is nearly impossible in the warmer wet season.
