Cusco · CUSCO ROCK CLIMBING & VIA FERRATA
Every trip has one free day too few. These 6 cusco rock climbing & via ferrata tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Spend about six and a half hours climbing rock above Cusco with a guide, using included helmets, harnesses, and climbing shoes. Routes suit beginners and stronger climbers. Private transport, a picnic lunch, and views over highland farms are included, with groups capped at eight.
“Excellent! The guide was helpful and enthusiastic, the equipment was in good shape, and I really enjoyed the experience.”
Qampa is one of Cusco’s most approachable high peaks, but 5,520 meters is no small challenge. Vidal Expeditions provides a mountain guide, climbing gear, tents, meals, horse support, and a small group capped at six.
“The meals were always a spectacle and tasted great”
You’ll ride from Cusco to a 300-meter via ferrata above the Sacred Valley, using fixed metal steps and safety cables with a trained English- or Spanish-speaking guide. After a box lunch and Vilcanota River views, six zip lines carry you back toward the base.
“Everything was perfect!! Both guides were super nice and experienced. The view from the top was amazing!! Don't think twice, book and enjoy it.”
Leave Cusco for Pachar, where English or Spanish speaking guides lead you up a rock-wall Via Ferrata before a series of Sacred Valley zip lines. Choose a four-course lunch at a transparent Sky Lodge capsule or a box lunch at the route’s high point. Guide Americo has earned special praise for calm, helpful support.
“Great crew, great instruction, and the Via Ferrata and Zipline were amazing. Will definitely be searching out more in the world. Recommend going as early as possible to be in mostly shade while still seeing the blue skies and views of the valley.”
Meet near Cusco’s Plaza Regocijo, ride 30 minutes to Devil’s Balcony, then walk 10 minutes to a 3,750-meter climbing site beside the Saphy River. Your instructor provides a 20-minute safety briefing, gear, and three routes for different ability levels. Brayan may be your belayer.
“A little expencive for what we got. Three times each up and down a wall”
Meet at Cusco’s main-square fountain, ride 45 minutes to Cachimayo, then climb 45 meters on a via ferrata, pedal a skybike above the valley, and rappel down with an English- or Spanish-speaking instructor. Enrique may lead your session.
“Exhilarating and handled with expertise. Something different than most of these experiences”
Pick a citadel, a ridge or a kitchen.
