Short Story of this place:
Marianela and Kenneth lived in this place way before this place turned into a rock climbing spot and were already climbing guides under the name of 21 Climb and Tour business. In 2017 the house was donated as a shelter for people who didn't have a safe place to be during Hurricane Maria. Two months after we arrived to our house we noticed we had rock walls behind our home that were fully covered with very dense tropical vegetation which made it impossible to see it before. This created an opportunity for us as climbing guides to create a unique space, and we can say we also work from home! We are thrilled to share this place with everyone in this world!

Ciales, PR
airbnb.com/h/cialespr
Ciales is central to all of the climbing and ocean activities on the north coast which is where the majority of rock climbing on the island is located. The urban crag of Bayamon is just 40 minutes away, the DWS in Arecibo an equal distance to the northwest, and as a family of climbers we can assist with your planning to maximize the time on the rock. Ciales is the gateway into the Toro Negro Mountain Range with the highest peaks on the island at over 4,300' high. Swimming holes, cliff jumping, world class caving, and many more adventures are close by and there's no better place in Puerto Rico to be central to outdoor adventures. Oct 10, 2023
