Adios Adventure Travel Introduces Rock Climb Peru!

Adios Adventure Travel is pleased to announce our friends and partners at Rock Climb Peru. It's true that Machu Picchu hogs the headlines for most travelers going to Peru, but in this post we aim to focus on adventures in nature by highlighting top-notch rock climbing venues in Peru. While via ferrata and mountainside sleep pods get much of the attention in the adventure travel arena, the far-flung community of Pitumarca in Peru is a principle hub for rock climbing adventure. ROCK CLIMB PERU is now bringing climbers to this amazing hidden climbing gem.

What kind of climbing should I expect in Pitumarca?

Pitumarca is a premier sport climbing destination located over 3000 meters above sea level. The local climbing community has developed and maintains over 200+ routes of excellent limestone and minimal polish. Climbers of all abilities can appreciate the challenge of climbing at altitude while hanging out with cordial llamas and alpacas. Our local climbing guides live in town, so you won't find any better resources to connect with the local climbing community and culture for additional climbing vibes.

What climbing gear do I need for Peru?

A standard gear set would be 80 meters of 9.2-9.8mm rope, climbing shoes, chalk, helmet, and harness. As buying gear in Peru can be tough, we make these recommendations to help with planning in advance Got a pair of shoes you really love? Bring them. While climbing guides in Peru will provide everything you need for the experience, every climber knows the pain of not climbing in their own well-molded Katanas or snug Instincts. We suggest you bring your favorite chalk and well-fitted harness too as finding good quality chalk and a properly fitted harness is limited. Although the local climbing guides will have everything you need on hand, any personal gear you can bring will make your experience a better one. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help you, from beginning to end.
