Suesca is a great place to climb. There is a climber's hostel that is more like a beautiful house 5 min walk from the cliff. Enjoy the cheap and delicious vegetables you can buy on your walk back from the cliff.

La Mesa de los Santos (in La Mojarra) is much closer to Bucaramanga than San Gil. The sport climbing there is fantastic. Juan Carlos (juancarlossantander@gmail.com) runs an amazing climbers hostel there called Cosmos Ecoturismo de Aventura - which you can lookup on facebook. It is in a remote rural area overlooking an amazing canyon. The cliff packed with a well concentrated 80+ climbs is 100m away! He'll be able to help you out with directions, travel hints, and contacts to the climber's hostel in Suesca.

The landcape in Colombia is incredible, and the people are even better. The local climbers in Suesca and La Mojarra will be friendly, helpful, and are always psyched to climb.

Also, there is good climbing (trad and sport) around Cuenca, Ecudor. Check out the monodedo website or just visit the gear shop for beta when in Cuenca. The Cuenca locals are also great.

In Peru, the climbing is around Huaraz. For Argentina, in and around Bariloche is where it is at ! The Enchanted Valley is one of the best climbing areas I have ever been to, and I have been to a lot of great climbing areas.

Have fun.
