Do you want to experience an exhilarating adventure on a tropical island? Look no further than rock climbing in Puerto Rico! Individuals and families alike can enjoy this exciting activity, regardless of skill level. No experience is required.
The mountain range boasts two distinct bulges nicknamed Las Tetas de Cayey, with a peak elevation of 2,762 feet / 842 m. Local climbers flock to the area for its long, slabby climbs, balance challenges, great afternoon weather, and breathtaking views. Along the way, you can discover wild coffee growing at the trail's entrance, as well as other fruits in the area. Just be cautious of the spicy chilies (AjĂ)–they're not for the faint of heart!
Las Tetas lies at the southern end of the mountain municipality of Cayey, near the beginning of Salinas, a mere 1-hour drive south of San Juan. The climbing area is composed of basalt volcanic rock, and the mountain's height allows for an uninterrupted view of the mountain range and the Caribbean's southern coast. Once you exit the highway, take the old mountain road "PR-1." You'll find many "chinchorros" (food and drink spots) that offer a variety of comfort foods. Our top recommendation is the 'Lechonera "El Cuñao," known for its pork on a pike. It's the ideal way to fuel up after an invigorating day of climbing!
Fun Fact: Cerro Las Tetas is situated in Salinas, not Cayey. Nevertheless, it's commonly referred to as Las Tetas de Cayey, possibly because the mountain range is called La Sierra de Cayey, which spans multiple municipalities.
*The difficulty ranges between 5.7 and 5.12b

We had an amazing time climbing with Carlos! He was very nice and very knowledgeable on the location, the routes, the gear and more. He worked with my 6 year old son and coached him as he climbed 60+ feet up the rock. Carlos also worked with my wife who has experience climbing and myself who rarely climbs. We all had a great time together. I would highly reccomend going with this company for your guided climbing experience. It was perfect!! Carlos even brought cold brew coffee for my wife and I, and juices for my son. Carlos is a super cool and good dude. We were in a beatiful location! We felt very safe and comfortable with Carlos. 5 stars all the way!
