Cruikshank and Carole Lunny - Colombia is a country full of legends and myths, and Suesca, just 45 kilometres north of Bogotá, has its fair share of ghost tales, supernatural drumming, and flying witches. Suesca is a popular weekend destination for climbers of all levels. It is the best area in Colombia for both traditional and sport climbing, and boasts over 400 routes from 5.4 to 5.14. The walls are up to 125 metres high and follow the railway tracks and a small river

I'm coming! I'll be there in 2 weeks, for maybe 6 weeks. I have shoes, harness, belay device, sleeping bag. No tent or rope. I can lead grade 6b, french. I can speak a bit of spanish, enough to get around Ok.
Where are the best places for me to go, for meeting climbers and finding places to stay. Do I need to buy a tent? If so, from where?
Thanks!
