Oaxacan rock climbing has exploded onto the Mexican climbing scene in the last decade due to our enormous diversity of accessible sport climbs. For those who are looking for an overnight adventure, Santiago Apoala is only a 3 hour drive from the city and offers some breathtaking climbing deep into the canyons of the Mixteca. If you’re looking for a day trip, we have incredible crags such as La Meca and San Sebastián Tutla that are only 20 minutes outside of the city center. These hidden spots will give you the full spectrum of climbing in Oaxaca. We have technical vertical climbing that puts your finger strength to the test, as well as overhung volcanic rock that humbles even the most expert climbers!
