Trekking
or walking is an activity practiced in all kinds of terrains and
is not restricted to age, gender or physical fitness.
As in
every task, there are various levels of difficulty, which can be
surpassed gradually as experience is gained.
The routes are
divided into four types of difficulty: relaxed, medium, steady
and difficult. This specialty presents variants such as
ascension hiking, which requires previous physical training and
knowledge of certain basic safety rules. In order to do the
hiking tour, it is necessary to take into account that you
should adapt the level of each hiker’s capacity and going
through signaled lands and it is recommended to use a pole, as
it may support 8 % of your body weight.
At the time of preparing
the equipment for the expedition, the maximum weight each person
can carry –up to 20 % of their own weight- should be born in
mind. Therefore, in order to avoid aches in the waist or back,
it is advisable to carry only what is necessary. |
