Program
ASA Algarve Sea Adventures provides this climbing trip for everyone, from first-time climbers to experienced climbers who want to explore the different climbing sectors in the Algarve without the hassle of organizing it themselves and finding the appropriate routes for their experience and skills. First-time climbers need not worry, as the trip starts from the basics, step by step. Whether you prefer to climb on toprope or lead, guides are available to train and support climbers in gaining the knowledge to embark on their own outdoor climbing trips.
Trip protection
The schedule is planned to coincide with the region's best chances for favorable climbing weather. In the rare case that outdoor climbing is not possible, alternative activities such as bouldering at an indoor gym or other excursions may be organized. Fortunately, the Algarve is renowned for its incredible weather, making disruptions unlikely.
