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!



Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival and first awesome dinner

Once picked up from the airport and greeted with a welcome aperitivo, you will have a quick warm-up with your group mates at Stardust Wall while Gio and Cata prepare the dinner. Be ready for some barbecue or pizza and some chill in the hot tub! NB: There will be only one transfer that will pick you up at 8/8.30 pm at the airport of Palermo.

Day 2 - Climbing above the sea

A traditional Italian breakfast awaits you in the morning... and then it is all about rocks! You will spend the day climbing on multiple crags in the surroundings of Trapani, Custonaci and San Vito lo Capo - the choice of the crag is made by your local expert depending on weather conditions. If breakfast wasn't enough, you will experience the traditional Cannolo delivery to the crag.

Day 3 - Climbing & jump in the sea day

Climbing all day is super fun, but the view from the top might have made you wonder how is the sea in this part of the island. Our answer might be biased, so you will get to tell it yourself. After another full day of climbing, jump into the water and chill out your muscles, you deserve it!

Day 4 - Rope or boulder day? You choose!

It's your last day of climbing, and you want to make the most out of it! Wake up early, eat breakfast (we know you'll miss that too), and go to the next crags! Follow your local partner's advice regarding the best spot to go according to the weather conditions, and enjoy the day! According to the needs of each of you, Marco will figure out the best thing to go for during your last day: deep water soloing, sport climbing, or bouldering.

Day 5 - Last day, fun day

On your last day, we will get to climb Stardust Wall for the last time, enjoy your breakfast, and be transferred to the airport. It is time to head back home - yes, already! NB: Same as the arrival, there will be one transfer that will leave at the time of the first of you to be at the airport :) We would advise you to leave in the afternoon, around 4 pm, so that you can enjoy your last day at the b&b!

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.

B&B fantastico, a partire dalla location per arrivare alle colazioni e alle cene davvero uniche e locali! Bravi a trovare linee scalabili in falesia anche con il caldo estivo, ma poi c’è sempre il deep solo e il boulder dietro casa dove si abbattono le temperature Persone preparate, che sanno trovare il giusto spot in base a preparazione fisica individuale e clima, facendoti sentire a casa! Super consigliato

Great trip would highly recommend! I had joined in as an absolute beginner and yet was able to have a lot of fun and learn a lot. Would recommend folks to practice some rope climbing and ideally reach a degree of proficiency prior to the trip to extract the most out of it

Fabulous few days with Cata, Marco and Giorgia. Lovely group, fun and challenging, so well organised and lots of different of experiences- crags, deep water solo (for me mostly the water!) and boulder. As a beginner they were really supportive and adapted so I could climb with the rest - am definitely alot more confident. Lovely chilled evenings together and Giorgias wonderful cooking made it perfect. Would definitely recommend.

Molto più di quanto mi aspettassi. Host disponibili che ti coinvolgono in una vera e propria community, facendoti entrare in contatto con realtà locali ed altri appassionati. Il BnB è una piccola oasi dove lo stereotipo italiano si esprime nelle sue migliori declinazioni, ottimo cibo, compagnia e allegrezza. Guida impeccabile e accorta che non risparmia motivazione e consigli senza diventare rigida, con occhio attento al gruppo e alle sue esigenze. Sono persone che amano quello che fanno, e sono bravi nel farlo.

Indomito (Aug 2024)

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.
