GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
To ensure a safer experience, please follow our recommendations:
> Prepare in advance. Consult the information about the route you intend to take, assess its technical characteristics, and analyze your physical condition.
> Wear clothing appropriate for the season in which you will be hiking, and preferably use hiking boots and soft, seamless socks.
> Bring water to stay hydrated during the hike and a first-aid kit.
> Before starting the hike, do a light warm-up to prepare your body for physical exertion.
> After finishing the hike, stretch your muscles to help them recover more quickly from the physical effort.
> Send us a message on the Hiking Trails Facebook page and tell us about your experience. Help other visitors enjoy our trails, and if you post anything on your profile, don’t forget to tag us.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
> When walking in a group, walk in single file.
> Signal the beginning and end of the group.
> If walking at night, signal your presence with a light pointing downwards at the beginning and end of the group.
> Always wear reflective vests, both day and night.
> Avoid using objects that distract the senses during the walk (e.g., mobile phone, earphones, headphones…).
> Avoid walking on the road; prefer the shoulder (always the shoulder opposite to the direction of traffic).
> Do not walk in places where pedestrian traffic is prohibited.
> Take breaks during the walk.
> Do not walk alone at night.
> Do not carry valuables or conspicuous objects.
> Take special care when crossing roads and always try to do so at pedestrian crossings or overpasses (someone in the group should help with signaling).
> Always keep your mobile phone charged and have the contact information of the other group members.
> If it is necessary to regroup, always do so off the road.
