Mapo Tapo Newsletter #3

We’ve got some fantastic updates to share that we’ve been brewing over the past month with our incredible guides. ✨

 

Lately, traffic on our site has been off the charts 🤯 —literally triple what it was last year. We know lots of you are eager to lock in your next climbing, hiking or via ferrata trip but are hesitating because some adventures aren’t confirmed yet. 🤔

 

Here’s the scoop: after chatting with our guides for a month, we decided to shake things up. Why not confirm every departure right from the start? So, that’s exactly what we're doing now.  🚀 

 

The guides are totally on board with this change. They’re stoked to be part of this bold move and are ready to make your trips unforgettable.

And guess what? Bookings have skyrocketed by over 500% since we started this. It looks like you all are loving the certainty just as much as we hoped!

 

Now, every trip listed is confirmed—book your spot and flights with confidence. ✅ Worst case unlikely scenario? You get an exclusive trip with your very own private guide.

 

Let us know your thoughts or any questions you have—always love hearing from you. 🥰
