AMATITLÁN, LAKE-SIDE WALLS
The routes
Each tour comes with a full day of climbing and all the gear you need. The only question: lake or lava fields?
Near Guatemala City & Antigua
A full day of climbing on the walls above the gorgeous Lake Amatitlán, the closest sport climbing to Guatemala City and Antigua. After a short approach through the jungle you're faced with spectacular views of the nearby Agua and Pacaya volcanos, framed by the shimmering emerald-green lake below you.
Quetzaltenango (Xela)
Climbing on the volcanic rock at Cerro Quemado, outside Quetzaltenango (Xela). Expect a lengthy approach up the sharp, rugged terrain formed from past volcanic eruptions. A sacred site for locals, this unique crag high in the sky is home to some of the best climbing in Guatemala.
Your guide
The person answering your message is the person tying in with you at the wall. Rafa has climbed Guatemalan rock for 19 years and guided for 13. First-timers get full instruction. Experienced climbers get mileage.
