La Peña Abejorral Book
The colonial farmhouse at La Peña

Our story

The mountain is
not a backdrop

It's our home. From an abandoned coffee farm to the home of rock climbing in Antioquia.

  1. 150+ years

    A coffee farm

    Coffee pickers, mules, old chiva buses and the smell of coffee. The Mejía family built the farm in La Peña.

  2. 2002

    The silence

    Colombia's armed conflict displaced the whole community. The farm was left empty and the mountain took it back.

  3. 2013

    The discovery

    A group of climbers found Cerro San Vicente and started bolting the first routes.

  4. 2016

    The home of climbing

    Five climbers opened the hostel. The farm came back to life, now with ropes and carabiners.

  5. Today

    A place for everyone

    100+ routes, cabins, a restaurant and a community that grows every weekend.

We believe in movement, in rock and in responsible freedom. We believe in community over ego.
