If you need some time to switch from ski boots into climbing shoes, and trade your skin-wax for a chalk-bag, rock climbing in Colombia is friendly, affordable and will remind you of Rifle, Colorado. The steep and polished sandstone found minutes from the small town of Suesca, where cattle roam free, is a destination for international climbers. However, the Colombian's themselves are the essential component to a network of crags spanning 10 kilometers of seldom used train tracks. The clean and lively capital of Bogata, situated an hour south of Suesca, is packed with stout climbers who train hard on the cracks, crimpers and off-widths that combine to exceed 400 routes. Given Colombia's proximity to the Equator, at 8,000 feet, Suesca has an annual average tempreture of 65F degrees and boasts a surprisingly dry climate. Nearly best of all, non-climbing locals wander the crags selling tamales and juice, and the cow pasture campground offers warm beer at the end of every day. Clients are encouraged to stay at the hostel just outside of town or in a private bodega, transportation to and from the capital is provided, an international flight to Bogata is only 3-hours from Miami, and the airfare is the most affordable to any South American destination.    

Colombia is the most friendly and outgoing country in South America, and they likewise boast some of the best and most entertaining climbers in the world. Tour Further has climbing options for beginners to advanced with traditional and sport routes ranging from 5.6 to 5.14, and with AMGA rock guides leading the way, clients can design their own programs to focus on any aspect of climbing they wish to improve.
