Rocks of Suesca
Rocas de Suesca
Colombia's most famous climbing destination, with hundreds of routes on sandstone cliffs stretching for several kilometres along a railway line.
Suesca lies about 65 km northeast of Bogotá. On the Bogotá River valley side, sandstone cliffs 100 to 370 metres high stretch for about 4 km. They offer hundreds of sport and traditional climbing routes, from beginner to expert. Several climbing schools at the village entrance provide guided climbs and equipment rentals. Those who don't climb can go hiking or cycling along the river, or try zip-lining. Intercity buses take about 2 hours. It is often done as a day trip, and weekends are crowded.
