The experience

Piedra Colgada sits at 3,300 meters in the El Tablón area of Susa, where a single massive rock stands out from the cliff face 12 meters into open air, with a free fall of roughly 250 meters to the valley below. The tour starts in Susa's main park, where you photograph the town's wall paintings, then moves to Nuestra Señora de los Dolores Church for an exterior look at its architecture before heading up to the viewpoint itself. A local guide travels with you throughout, explaining the region's culture, traditions and landscape while positioning you for the best shots.

At Piedra Colgada, the day shifts from sightseeing to doing. You move through via ferrata (fixed ropes and metal rungs bolted into the rock) crossing Tibetan bridges, tackling mini climbing sections and hiking through the high Andean sub-páramo landscape. The rope park sits among the eastern Andes' extreme terrain, and the guide stays present to keep the experience safe and positive. A typical local lunch is included once you come back down.

The tour wraps in 4.5 hours and covers transportation from your hotel, entrance to the park, all the gear and instruction you need for the via ferrata, and time for photographs throughout. A personal accident policy is included as standard.

What is Piedra Colgada and what makes it extreme?

Piedra Colgada is a rock formation jutting 12 meters out from a cliff edge at 3,300 meters elevation in Susa, with a 250-meter drop below. The extreme part is the via ferrata (fixed rope and climbing routes) that lets you cross Tibetan bridges and navigate the rock face itself rather than just viewing it from a distance.

Do I need climbing experience to do the via ferrata at Piedra Colgada?

The via ferrata includes mini climbing and rope work but is guided and equipped for people with moderate physical fitness. Your guide is with you the entire time and the route is designed for the activity level of the tour, not for climbers alone.

What does the tour include and what should I bring?

The tour includes private transportation from your hotel, entrance to Piedra Colgada Park, a local guide in Spanish, all via ferrata equipment, a typical lunch, and photography time. Bring water, sturdy hiking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing and a camera. The high altitude and exposed terrain mean conditions can change quickly.

How long is the full tour and what else do we see besides Piedra Colgada?

The tour runs 4.5 hours total. Before heading to Piedra Colgada, you spend time in Susa's main park photographing wall paintings and visiting the exterior of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores Church to see its architecture.
