The official website of the Colombian government agency, ProColombia, names the municipality of Suesca as the preferred destination for national and international climbers in the country.
The municipality located in Cundinamarca, Colombia, has "more than 400 climbing routes that adapt to different skill levels."
For this reason, the Suesca Rocks are considered the 'cradle of climbing in Colombia'. The Ministry of Culture, Recreation and Sport's website reports that the origin of climbing dates back to ancient records of Antoine De Ville, who climbed Mount Aiguille in France on June 28, 1492, becoming the first recorded amateur to practice this activity.
