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!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
