Welcome to the US Juan! From where you are at, drive straight west to Colorado - Shelf Road or Penitente for sport, South Platte for Trad. These areas are covered on Mountain Project quite well. Good Luck.

Edit- Shelf is about 4.5 Hours from you, well worth the drive for a weekend trip.

Shelf Road is going to be raining and snowing all day this weekend. Terrible for climbing.

Colorado would probably be your first choice, but if the weather there is bad you might consider heading south to Oklahoma.

Within a 5 hour driving radius:

1. Quartz Mountain. Scary trad granite slab climbing.

Within a 6 hour driving radius:

1. Wichita Wildlife Refuge.

Back to Colorado, about the same driving time as Shelf Road but much less populated is the Wet Mountains (1 to 2 pitch sport climbing).

For other trips, your best bet is to begin with the Colorado climbing area map at mountainproject.com/scripts…

Not much for bouldering at Shelf Road. Newlin Creek south of Canon City has great bouldering. There isn't much information on it but just walk up the trail into the canyon and you will find boulders with chalk on them. It can be snowy & cold in the winter but people do boulder there all year.

Arkansas is a bit of a drive comparably, but if you have any desire to come here, hit me up!

Bem-vindos aos EEUU! Sei que fica meio longe, mas se algum dia vocês vierem a Carolina do Norte, me dê um toque. Este estado tem muita pedra diversa a oferecer. Nós moramos em Hickory e ficaremos felizes em mostrar a outros Brasileiros a região.
Abraços

Picketwire Canyon near La Junta, CO has lots of bouldering. Not too far from where you are at.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
