Trip details

57hours is committed to providing safe outdoor adventure experiences. We require all guides using our platform to have a COVID-19 safety plan and to make the details of that plan accessible to travelers. In most cases, group sizes will be reduced, guides will avoid overcrowded locations, and other safety measures will be met depending on the location and activity. 

We also expect clients to respect local regulations and take measures to protect themselves, their guides, and the communities they’re traveling to. For more information on COVID-19 measures in Guadalcázar, Mexico, please refer to Mexico’s travel advice and US Embassy’s COVID-19 information for Mexico.

Please contact us if you have any questions or require further information. We are happy to provide you with the most up-to-date information!

What you get on this adventure:

• An experienced, local rock climbing guide with extensive knowledge of the area
• One or more days of rock climbing in Guadalcázar
• All technical climbing gear

What’s not included:

• Transportation to and from Mexico
• Accommodations
• Guide gratuities — optional

There are two things you can do in Guadalcázar, rock climbing and bouldering. Being in good shape is always a plus, but far from necessary—if you can climb a ladder, you’re good to go. Rock climbing and bouldering is all about using good movement technique rather than muscling up a cliff using brute strength. To ensure you have a fun day, your guide will choose routes that best suit your skill and fitness level.

While bouldering in Guadalcázar is suitable for beginners, rock climbing requires an intermediate to advanced level. 

If you’re planning on bouldering in Guadalcázar, this guided tour is beginner-friendly. Whether you’ve never tried it before or are transitioning from the gym to outdoor climbing, your guide will customize the day to suit your skill and objectives. With a guide by your side, you’ll learn something new, stay safe on the rocks, and most importantly, have fun!

For intermediate to advanced climbers, Guadalcázar has loads of routes to spend the day on. Your guide will discuss your objectives and customize the day to your goals. Let your guide plan the day so you can focus on developing your skills while climbing the classic routes or best hidden gems the area has to offer.

In case you’re a beginner and you’d love to climb in Mexico, check out this rock climbing tour at La Peña de Bernal or at Las Peñas de Dexcaní. If you’re an intermediate rock climber looking for a challenge, consider joining a day of traditional crack climbing at La Cascada de La Concepción.

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)
• Sun hat
• Water bottle
• Long-sleeved sun shirt
• Comfortable approach shoes
• Food you can eat on-the-go
• Toiletries (sunscreen, bug spray, toilet paper, 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.

Group sizes and prices:

• For this private rock climbing adventure in Guadalcázar, the max guest-to-guide ratio is 4:1.
• The cost per person decreases as the group grows, so it’s the perfect opportunity to climb with friends and family! 

Rock climbing in Guadalcázar can be arranged for larger groups. Contact us to make arrangements.

Min. age requirements:

• If you are older than 18, you’re good to go.
• Minors younger than 18 may be permitted to join the climb on a case-by-case basis, but must be in the presence of a parent or legal guardian.

If your group has climbers under the age of 18, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

Your adventure starts in Guadalcázar, Mexico. To get there, it’s possible to fly into San Luis Potosí International Airport (SLP), but you likely won’t find any direct flights from the US. Many will fly into Mexico City International Airport (MEX) and from there, rent a car or take a shuttle to San Luis Potosí.

Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, your guide will suggest the best place to meet, whether that’s at the guide shop or a predetermined location. The guide will choose the appropriate terrain dependent on conditions and the ability of the group.
