If you can climb a ladder, you’re good to go. Being in good shape is always a plus but far from necessary. Rock climbing is all about using good movement technique rather than muscling up a cliff using brute strength. To ensure you have a fun experience rock climbing in Aculco de Espinoza, your guide will choose routes that best suit your skill and fitness level.

No prior experience is necessary for this rock climbing tour in Aculco de Espinoza. Whether you’ve never donned a harness or you’re a seasoned climber, a guide will help you meet your individual objectives. Above all, your instructor’s number one priority is your safety. As long as you listen to the given instructions, you’ll succeed in completing your climb.

All technical climbing equipment will be provided by your guiding service. However, if you have your own gear, feel free to bring it. You’ll need:

• • Helmet
  • Harness with a locking carabiner, belay device, and chalk bag
  • Ropes
  • Rock shoes (included in the price, but we recommend bringing your own if you have them)
  • Climbing hardware (quickdraws, cam devices, stoppers, etc.)

Here’s a list of the equipment we suggest you bring:

• • Day pack large enough to carry all the items listed (around a 40L bag)
  • Duffle bag for all you belongings
  • Water bottle
  • Sun hat
  • Comfortable shoes for the walk-off
  • Light puffy jacket
  • Food you can eat on-the-go
  • Rock climbing clothing (including a long-sleeved sun shirt)
  • Leisure clothing
  • Toiletries (sunscreen, chapstick, bug spray, etc.)
  • Sunglasses
  • Camera — optional

Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.

The third and fifth day of your adventure are reserved for rest. What you do on this day is totally up to you — and your guide can help with all the arrangements!

If four days of climbing were enough for you, you can pack up and head to the airport (transportation included) on Day 7 and start your journey home. You’ve climbed fantastic routes, learned skills to last a lifetime all the while experiencing the endearing culture found in Central Mexico.

In case you’d like to prolong your adventure, stay for another optional day and use it to your heart’s delight. Join the remaining group for an added day of rock climbing at La Concepcion—at no added cost! Explore more of the magical town of Aculco as there is so much to see and do. Maybe go horseback riding, hiking, visit the hot springs, explore the local museums, venture to the pyramids, hop in for a 4×4 jeep tour, or join a dirt bike tour—the fun never stops! Once you sign up, talk with your guide about how to make the remainder of your trip spectacular. Horseback riding, hiking, hot springs, museums, pyramids, local tourist attractions, 4×4 jeep tours, dirt bike tours, or just hang out! Your time spent here will be unforgettable. Guaranteed.
