Climbing & Bouldering

Templo de Los Monos Cusco

Huaraz is the number one destination in Peru for climbers and mountaineers, though there are also several places near Cusco.

Cusco

The only gym in Cusco is Templo de Los Monos (above), which is bouldering only - no harnesses and no ropes. They have climbing shoes for rent and also rent crash pads to go climbing at Los Techos (below). It’s open weekdays 2pm-9pm and weekends opens at 11am. Address: Av. Libertad E-1-3 across from Vichayito cevichería.

Los Techos is the most popular place for outdoor bouldering in Cusco. It’s a hike up past Temple of the Moon. If you want to meet Cusco climbers who can show you how to get to Los Techos, go to the climbing gym Templo de Los Monos.
