"CANASI SECTOR" Climbing tour

Arcos de Canasi is a small town located in the eastern part of the Cuban province of Mayabeque, in the municipality of Santa Cruz del Norte. Located 44 kilometers from Havana, the town was founded in 1738 at the mouths of the Canasí River, and its main economic activities are agriculture and fishing. Strolling through this small and simple town is the perfect opportunity to learn about the local way of life and appreciate its Afro-Cuban culture. The surrounding landscape is impressive, where we will see a hill that surrounds the entire coast and maintains its flat top of approximately 100 meters high. Across the pass through which the Canasí River flows, the Lomas de Picadura or Canasí hills rise, located 11 km from the coast. The Abra de Canasí is a beautiful landscape to admire, the river, the mogotes, several caves and abundant local fauna and flora are shown to the traveler in all its splendor.

A spectacular new climbing area has been opened in Arcos de Canasi, just meters away from a beautiful natural beach surrounded by breathtaking nature.

We give you the opportunity to enjoy sport rock climbing in a green area in the middle of the nature of Canasi, with more than 8 years of experience in sport climbing!

Notes: In climbing the degrees of difficulty are denominated with numbers and letters 5a,5b,6c,7a.... up to level 9c (according to the French scale).

To climb a level 5a it is not necessary to be in top physical shape, you just have to trust yourself and not be afraid of falling because you will always be insured with equipment from the best climbing brands in the world (all certified by the UIAA - International Union of Mountaineering Associations). When you can not continue climbing you can let go without any fear, you will remain hanging in the same place so you will not suffer any blow because you will be climbing in the mode of "top rope ". This modality is ideal among the typologies and techniques of climbing, if you are a beginner in this world, it is the safest because the rope is tied to a belay that is on the ground, passes through a meeting point and then goes to the climber.

TIPS: - You do NOT have to worry about wearing the proper footwear. The safety equipment is provided by the organizers, and includes: Climbing shoes (allows us, literally, to adhere to the rock. This is fundamental because, in spite of what beginners usually think, in this discipline it is more important to work with the legs than with the hands. These shoes fit the foot well and are designed to increase the performance of rock climbing) / Magnesium bag (tied to the waist and hangs from the back; inside it contains a substance that removes moisture from the hands and provides a better grip) / Harness and helmet (safety elements, the first unites the climber with the rope) / Carabiner and grigri, two essential devices as belayers. - NO gloves are used, so at least the first few times be prepared for hand chafing (they say that experienced climbers get calluses and are no longer hurt by the rock). - As part of the routine, before starting, there are some physical exercises to warm up and stretch the muscles guided by the organizers.
