EQUIPment
In this section, we provide you with some tips on recommended planning and equipment to enjoy the wonderful hiking experience safely.
PLAN THE ACTIVITY
Planning is the first contact with the activity, the time to start imagining it and, therefore, enjoying it. It is also an educational process, in which we should involve those who know less or those who are going to accompany us.
