What you'll do

During the Mapo Tapo 'Sicily by the Sea' experience you will have the opportunity to discover and practice the amazing discipline of climbing surrounded by a crystal-clear sea. In line with the Mapo Tapo spirit, you will also have the occasion to meet fellow climbers and share your passion for the rock! The coastline of Western Sicily is a real amusement park for climbers. The protagonists are the Mediterranean sea, the golden tufas, and the laid-back Sicilian vibe. Nature is still untouched here and you will find extraordinary rock quality and scenery, ranging from limestone crags, to sandstone boulders and DWS routes over crystal clear water. To complete the experience: awesome food and the amazing Sicilian vibe are guaranteed.

Sicilian climbing isn’t just scenic... it’s historical! Many crags are set against ancient ruins or near sites once occupied by Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans... which means ascending rock faces that have witnessed thousands of years of human history!

Accommodations

B&B Polvere di Stelle


Nestled in western Sicily’s rolling hills, Polvere di Stelle is more than just a climbing hostel - it’s a vibrant celebration of Sicilian culture, hospitality, and grassroots climbing spirit. Housed in a lovingly restored early‑20th-century farmhouse in Ummari, this B&B reflects the passion of founders Giorgia and Davide, who decided to combine the beauty of the natural surroundings and the vibrant local and international climbing community, which you’ll find gathered every evening around the dinner table. Equipped with hot tub, BBQ, and a climbing wall in the backyard - Cata Wall - its features will make your stay very special! Not to mention the delicious Italian breakfasts, where homemade cakes are the main characters. Accommodation is in private rooms (sleep 2-4) with en-suite bathrooms.

Cata & Gio

Giorgia and Davide are the hosts of the accommodation "B&B Polvere di Stelle" where you will be staying during this trip. They are two super friendly local climbers who sometimes will come climb with you! Giorgia’s home‑baked cakes - bursting with local flavors like honey, citrus, and almonds - fuel climbers before they venture out. Her warmth and creative spirit set the tone for the day. Davide, an accomplished local climber and boulderer, sculpted Bosco Scorace, Sicily’s first sandstone bouldering haven, nestled in eucalyptus woods just minutes from the hostel.

A very relaxing place where you can slow down and enjoy a calm and wholesome vibe, surrounded by cats and dogs. Giorgia and Davide are super friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the sport, on top of giving you some top notch breakfasts and dinners. Rooms are clean and have everything you may need. Shoutout to Marco, very chill and friendly climbing guide! You can fully trust him for both skills and expertise of the area; as a first timer for outdoor climbing I never felt out of my comfort zone.

I really enjoyed my time with Mapo Tapo! Everything was so well organised, the bed and breakfast was super cute, and the food was great! I especially loved that we could decide together whether to go climbing early or later in the day, which made the whole experience really flexible and relaxed. We also had such a lovely group of people. Hopefully I’ll be back again! 🧗‍♀️✨

Una location eccezionale, inserita in un paesaggio da cartolina, accogliente e pulita; guide di arrampicata appassionate e professionali; Alcuni siti di arrampicata talmente belli, per qualità della roccia e bellezza del circostante, che mi scoppiavano gli occhi, i polpastrelli e gli avambracci. 5 giorni fantastici, talmente intensi e arricchenti che ancora ho i brividi quando ci penso.
