We show how the shadowing property can be used in connection to rotation sets. We review the concept of periodic chains and the shadowing rotation property, and study a class of diffeomorphisms with invariant sets that have such property. In particular, we consider invariant sets that arise from homoclinic and heteroclinic connections for twist maps in higher dimensions. As a consequence, we can show the existence of a family of twist maps, each one with an open set of rotation vectors that are realized by points that are close to a fixed point.
