So I'm in Cusco for the rest of the month and I needed some rock under my fingers. I googled climbing in the area and some sites/blogs but unfortunately they aren't very informative on where these spots are. I tried emailing these people but of course no answers. So to all you peeps where is the bouldering in Cusco, Peru. Also if anyone knows where to score a crash pad here that would be great as well. Thanks.

Bouldering is pretty easy to find in town


And right outside is the Inca fortress of Sacsayhuaman.


...which will either be great bouldering or land you in jail.

I'd leave the chalk home.

Yeah I emailed that site along with some others and haven't heard anything back.

Also the spotting and basic use of pads that have seen so far down here is basically non existent.
