One of The most popular crags between locals for bouldering is la Garganta, This small steep east facing crag, limestone of good quality is about 50 meters long and 10-12 meters height, surrounded by an eucalyptus forest, this wall is the perfect place to get started in rock climbing, for the variety of routes and difficulties. In addition caves and rock features in bottom for practice of traversing, and bouldering,  to develop technique and strength. Located at 25 min of Cusco city,  noted for its accessibility and proximity to the city,  There are countless beautiful limestone outcrops spread around this place.
Unfortunately this area is within the archaeological park of Sacsayhuaman and sometimes there is the possibility of meeting with the guardians of the park, they will be asked to leave immediately the archaeological park. One of the proposals of our project is trying to establish a dialogue with the ministry of culture to achieve an agreement for use and mark areas for the practice of this growing outdoor sport.
This guide on line is an updated review with the best routes to climb in la garganta.

Rock climbing and bouldering are growing rapidly and is wide open to exploration and new routes, there are several local climbers willing to point out established areas. Among the most well know and frequented places are the north area, the best lime stone climb area, routes have varying levels of difficulty to challenge all type of climbers, although many climbers adhere to "minimal impact" and "leave no trace" practices. Popular areas for climb and boulder are also archeological and sacred places for locals. People would prefer that climbers not climb these sacred places and have made this information well known to climbers (see advises) .The potential threat to these cultural resources has led to restrictions and shut the next climbing routes:
The Evils Balcony, La Garganta, Nomos, La Escuela.
Many non-climbers object the appearance of chalk marks, bolts and slings on visible cliffs. Since these features are small, visual impacts can be mitigated through selection of neutral rock-matching colors for equipment. Today the shut of climb routes more often is because disagreement about the appropriateness of drilling and placing permanent bolts and other anchors.
