Rock Climbing + Via Ferrata | Rock Climbing Curacao

Discover rock climbing and conquer Curacao’s heights—then descend into the depths of the Tafelberg!
What can you expect?
This tour combines the thrill of a Via Ferrata ascent with the excitement of real outdoor rock climbing—no prior experience required.
The adventure begins at the Rock Climbing Curaçao (RCC) shop, where participants receive all necessary gear. From there, the guide drives the group to the Tafelberg in the RCC minivan (approx. 10 minutes). Once parked, a short 15-minute hike leads to the start of the Via Ferrata route.
A Via Ferrata is a protected climbing course equipped with a fixed steel cable along the rock wall. Unlike traditional climbing, where a partner manages the rope, participants secure themselves directly to the cable for continuous protection throughout the ascent. With expert supervision and clear instructions from the guide, beginners can safely enjoy this unique experience.
The Via Ferrata leads to the summit of the Tafelberg, a broad platform offering impressive views. From there, the guide takes participants to the nearby climbing area. If it’s someone’s first time rock climbing, the guide gives a thorough explanation of the basics before belaying them on the wall.
This tour is ideal for anyone looking to try climbing in a safe, supportive environment while exploring one of Curaçao’s most striking landscapes.
