Climb and Fly at La Pirámide Park: Via Ferrata, Rappel & 700m Zipline in Durango
Scale a 50‑meter monolith, descend by a 35‑meter rappel and fly 700 meters across a Sierra Madre valley — all in a four‑hour, community-run adventure. Learn what to expect, how to prepare, and why this Durango park matters to local conservation.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy shoes
Closed-toe hiking shoes with good grip help on the rocky approach and ferrata footing.
Bring 1–2 liters of water
Hydration is critical in the dry mountain air; carry refillable bottles if possible.
Sun and wind protection
Sunscreen, sunglasses and a wind shell are useful — exposures on the zipline and summit feel colder than the valley.
Follow guide clipping protocol
All clipping, belays and braking are managed by guides; listen closely during the safety briefing.
