About Papallacta Cliffs:
On the way to the town of Papallacta (east of Quito) is a deep canyon with many cliffed out areas. Some hiking will be required to reach any of these areas. The rock is volcanic basalt, a lot of it not suitable for climbing. We are still looking for ideal spots but this area looks promising. |
