Instructions for Participating in a Trekking Trip
- Walking stimulates thought, enhances memory, and helps free the mind and body from stress. When walking, especially in a natural environment, a connection is created between the world and oneself, releasing negative energies accumulated from the frenzy of modern life. Join with confidence!
- You will be part of a group for a few hours or a few days; embrace the dynamics that will develop. Share your knowledge and, if you wish, your belongings—others will do the same for you! Experience the group!
- During a hike or trek, unexpected situations may arise; this is normal. We might arrive late to a stop, find a closed shop where we planned to buy supplies, or face other inconveniences. Accept the surprises; there is a solution for everything!
- Walk mindfully and discover what’s around you. You might find a flower, see an animal, or smell a scent that catches your attention. Don’t rush and stay with the group; we will follow the pace of the slowest member!
- Participating in an excursion will help you meet new people, and it will be nice to share your experiences with others. However, during the journey, let’s also enjoy the beauty of silence and walk lightly, away from daily anxieties and habits. Therefore, leave your phone at home; for urgent communications, the guide’s phone will be available to you! If you don’t want to give it up, know that it must remain turned off during the hike.
- A trek requires a good spirit of adaptability. Share your feelings with others and inform the guide of any problems; they will help you if they can!
- The guide is there to help solve any problems that may arise, but don’t rely solely on them; discuss any discomfort calmly if you have any.
