Marta Nardullo

Wonderful experience

Once I arrived in Mallorca I met the group with whom I would share the days of climbing and the guide. The place we stayed in was excellent, welcoming and clean.

The group was very similar in terms of ability on the rock and this allowed us to all climb together. The places chosen by the guide were perfect, suited to the weather and our abilities. The guide was prepared and available to our requests.


Traveling with Mapo Tapo is safe. Relying on them was the best choice, they are professional, they supported me with any problem and allowed me to have this experience without having to think about anything, but just to enjoy everything. Grazie Mapo Tapo!

Limestone, sea and friendliness!

It was my first group climbing trip while I usually climb to the crag always with the same partner. I found the experience useful for gaining confidence and consolidating techniques already learned.

Marco, our guide, was super efficient both in choosing the crags and in measuring everyone's levels and energies, supervising our days together with the very valid support of Dario. Everything was seasoned with the warmth and friendliness of Davide and Giorgia, hosts of the B&B. Overall, I liked everything.


Sicily is a land rich in resources and I consider myself lucky to have tasted an important part of them.

Unique experience

Esperienza bellissima, unica pecca la durata. Le guide fantastiche, Barbara, Berto e Marco sono persone veramente alla mano, sempre col sorriso e disponibili allo scherzo e alla battuta, ma quando c'è da fare le cose per bene sanno richiamare l'attenzione.

The story of Mapo Tapo

mapotapo-story-image

Before @Dani quit his corporate job and founded Mapo Tapo, he traveled the world climbing, hiking, skiing, and surfing.

However, every time he had to go on an outdoor sports trip, he faced two problems 🤯 :

👫 find the buddies to go with. It isn't easy to find friends with the same passion for these sports who can take days off work at the same time as you.

mapotapo-story-image

🔎 find a local mountain guideIt's even more challenging to scout the right itineraries for your mountain experience, find the local guides, and organize all the travel logistics.

Trip after trip, he realized that outdoor sports traveling is broken 💔 .

💡 @Dani's solution: "Let's create an international outdoor community where you can meet travel buddies and practice your favorite sport with local guides in breathtaking destinations around the world, stress-free".
