Rockclimbing excursions
Rockclimbing excursions and lessons are available to introduce beginners to this exciting sport and to thrill seasoned aficionados.
Climbing takes place on a 20-meter (60-foot) high granite escarpment with routes of various grades of difficulty. The rock wall is located just meters from the ocean so you can actually see the ocean and hear the splash of the waves as you climb the rock as well as while you wait your turn below. The views are quite breathtaking.
Rockclimbing excursions leave Puerto Escondido early in the morning to assure that after the hour or so drive along the coast, you will arrive at the rock while the climbing area is still shaded. In the afternoon, the sun usually heats the rock and air to an uncomfortable level. When this happens, climbers usually retire to the shade of one of the nearby beach front restaurants to enjoy lunch and/or a cool beverage between taking dips in the ocean.
Rockclimbing excursions are a full day trip and cost $120 U.S. for the first two people and $20 U.S. for each additional person.
