Cuba. Rockclimbing program.

Plunge into the world which is bright and friendly, into the country of contrast and incomparable tropical charm.

First part of our Cuba rockclimbing program is offers climbing on the karst rocks of wonderful beauty in Vinales valley - unique biosphere reserve, specially protected by UNESCO. Until nowadays in Vinales valley some species of Jurassic period remain, as well as the prehistoric human artefacts untouched by the influence of the civilization.

In the second part of our program we will trek to the highest mountain of Cuba - Pico Turqino, where every stone keeps the glory of the heroic past of Cuban Revolution, and in coastal bushes the stealthy steps of the descendants of the severe revolutionists are heard still.

How the West of Cuba island is different from the East, how different is the culture and way of life of Cuban people, you can experience yourself, travelling along the Cuba Island more than 2000 km, wondering how different are the climate, flora and fauna.

Planning the trip, we take as basis our standard rockclimbing 12 days variant which allows us to combine climbing with sightseeing and other active recreations. We do not limit ourselves to just climbing rocks - for us it is more than sport - it is our lifestyle - active, bright and full of adventures!

We invite everyone who is interested in rockclimbing and mountaineering to take part in our 12 days climbing program in Cuba. It would be interesting for climbers of any competence! This program consists of two different parts mixed with each other – rockclimbing in beautiful Vinales valley and trekking to the top of the highest mountain of Cuba - Pico Turqino! 12 days of rockclimbing and sightseeing excursions.
