Climbing

In Salto del Penitente Park we have developed climbing at different levels. Although this discipline is very common in other countries, there are very few places in Uruguay that are prepared for it.

We have a natural wall equipped to practice this sport. It is near ten meters high, with three different climbing paths.

The level of difficulty varies according to the experience and the physical conditions of the person.

  • Available on weekends and holidays.
  • This activity has a cost (cash only accepted).

Rappel

Rappel

Rappel is a complementary activity to natural climbing, where the climber, after reaching the summit, has to descend by using this technique.

It consists of sliding down with a rope along a wall, slope or simply a vertical.

Ropes and special complementary equipment are used (harness, carabiners, emergency harness, helmet, etc.).

It is an activity for all ages and it does not require great physical preparation.

  • Available on weekends and holidays.
  • This activity has a cost (cash only accepted).

Zip-line

This activity (also known as Canopy) consists of a steel cable tightened over a slope through which we slide using a waist harness fastened to a pulley wheel.

Our zip-line has two stretches; one is 195 and another 189 meters long.

This activity is fun for all ages and does not require training or previous knowledge.

  • Available on weekends and holidays.

Horseback riding

Horse Ridings are tours on horseback along different roads or cross-country.

This activity takes around 30 minutes and allows you to go all over the park and connect in another way with the wild life in the park.

It does not require previous experience and can be done both individually or in groups, but always with the company of a guide.

  • Available on weekends and holidays.
  • This activity has a cost (cash only accepted).

Trekking

There are walks that can be done in the Park both cross-country or along our own paths created to this end.

This sport and leisure activity can be done with orientation practices and the use of maps. Bird sightings can also be done as well as recognizing the flora and fauna of the place.

It can be done all year round, by any person of any age. It is important to wear comfortable clothes, running/walking shoes and to take a backpack with basic elements inside.

  • Available every day.
  • Free activity.
