Climbing

Explore climbing beyond Patagonia, from Santiago’s Parque Los Silos to the mountains of Cajón del Maipo, with the IFSC Climbing World Cup as a starting point.

The Andes span seven countries, and climbing conditions vary dramatically from one region to the next. Compare seasons, altitude considerations, and the highest peaks across the range.

Rock climbing in Peru, compared to its more popular neighboring destinations like Argentina or Chile, is still a niche experience.

Cusco is more than an arrival point. It is one of the best places to acclimatize, settle into the altitude, and branch out into Pitumarca, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu.

Everyone thinks Machu Picchu when people mention Peru. Even climbers.
