We live in the city and work in the office, but we only breathe in the outdoors. We are hikers, climbers and skiers. We love adventure and we just want to meet someone like us to share it with.
Since 2021, Mapo Tapo has run trips to remote destinations and has helped its travelers practice their favorite outdoor sport. We also self-published a climbing guidebook called "The Climbing Travel Guide". Check it out.
It's a pity we only had one week! Icio and Marina are amazing! I didn’t expect to learn so much about lead climbing in a week. In addition, I tried dws for the first time in my life and enjoyed every bit of it - all the climbing under Icio’s guidance felt safe and made me more confident. Having some experience in sailing, rigatas specifically, I still learned new things from Marina and Icio. Extra snorkeling equipment came in handy as well. Meals were awesome and all the locations breathtaking. Great experience all round, 10 out of 5!

Increadible DWS, Bouldering, Mount Etna and dinner at the basecamp. Mapo Tapo is a brilliant company - one of its kind catering to people into adventure sports in a flexible way. Even though we were a group of different levels, they went out of their way to ensure we all had a great time. After DWS we did some outdoor bouldering which was unexpected, but very good! And on top of that - dinner at the Climbing basecamp, mama mia! They also helped organise a tour for us to Mount Etna which was great.Thank you Marco, Dario, Georgia, Dani for helping us on this amazing trip to Sicily, we cannot wait to be back!
Sicily Rock and Fire

Had a great week hiking and eating. Had a great week of hiking and eating with Simone and Jessica. Every hike was enjoyable, even if the weather didn't play its part for the first two days. They were largely of the main tourist routes so very quiet, but with stunning views. Jessica's food every night was amazing, favourites are the tortellini, the slow cooked beef, and the brownie with marscapone, but there was not one bad meal. The rest day at the spa was well timed and very relaxing, I highly recommend joining Simone and Jessica on their next trip
Dolomite hike and taste
Alex
Fantastic desert climbing experience! I am an experienced climber and usually organise my own trips, so when my climbing partner suggested this trip to Jordan I was not sure what to expect. It was great not to have to worry about the logistics and the local guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The climbing was excellent and there was plenty to do at all grades. The scrambling and desert bivouac were brilliant and the scenery was spectacular.
