If you are visiting Curacao on a holiday and you want to climb, please check this forum post on Mountain Project: https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/113326091/climbing-on-curacao. This is a place to announce when people are planning to visit Curacao and climb, what gear they're bringing and what they are planning to do.
It's of course also possible to get in touch with the local community through me (climbingbeekenburg@gmail.com), but especially if you're staying for 2 weeks or less, the Mountain project forum is the best place to look for a buddy. The local climbing community is pretty small right now, and when we're between public climbing outings, you'll miss all the action.
If you are visiting and require climbing gear, please send an e-mail to Gecko Climbing Gear Rental Curacao (geckocgr@gmail.com).

Area under development. So far, 7 routes have been realized in a beautiful natural setting, ranging from IV- to 6c. It's single pitch sport climbing.
The area catches the shade in the afternoon. It can be reached from below (plains of Hato, park at Kueba Pachi) or above (Landhuis Daniel trail, east section). Bring a light if you plan to hike out after dark.
Small climbing area in a very natural and adventurous setting, in the Rif Sint Marie area.

2. Climbing areas developed by Rock Climbing Curacao
2.1. Seru Pretu/Piscadera (Willemstad)
Latest news: in the summer of 2023, some bolts in sector "Jack Sparrow" that looked very rusted were replaced with titanium glue-ins. This was done with approval of the original developers.
2.2. Roi Rincon (Willemstad)
Latest news: in 2023, a new sector has been added at Roi Rincon with bolts donated by the NKBV, adding 11 routes to what's already there. For a temporary topo please click here.
Important: Parke Roi Rincon is accessible between 7 AM and 7 PM every day. This means that the parking needs to be empty by 7 PM or you risk not being able to leave the site because the gate is closed and locked. If you want to climb outside these hours, please park outside the gate.
The largest climbing area on Curacao, and with the tallest walls and the hardest routes! Tafelberg is massive however, there is something to climb here for all skill levels. The area is on private property, so a small access fee applies. This needs to be paid at the RCC office.
