Cajon el Maipo, Chile
An extensive valley in Central Chile surrounded by some of the region's most imposing moutains.
A 4,200km-long country hugging the Andes, Chile has this incredible geography where you can find solid glaciers in the South and the driest desert in the world in the North. Cajon del Maipo is an extensive valley located in Central Chile, surrounded by some of the region's most imposing mountains. You'll find over 50 different crags here, offering anything from bouldering to alpine-style multi-pitches in a dramatically beautiful setting. But the thing that makes this area really unique is the rock. Melted-cheese style volcanic toba, basalt mixed with molten limestone - whatever crag you choose you're guaranteed an adventure...
