For beginners, we always suggest easy trails, so that you can decide whether you will really like it and not experience any difficulties.
Following the ABNT 15505-2 standards, which discusses criteria for evaluating trails and hikes, there are 4 criteria:
On most of the trails we do, there are no restroom facilities. We suggest that you always use a shit tube or dig a hole in the ground to bury your waste whenever possible, and never leave any type of material like toilet paper in the woods.
First, we suggest that you always wear a backpack with two straps, so that your hands are free and your balance is good while walking. The backpack should contain the following items: personal hygiene items (e.g. toilet paper); sunscreen; insect repellent; regular medication; snacks; water; raincoat; extra battery for your cell phone; waterproof backpack cover. We always suggest that participants bring an extra set of clothes. These extra sets of clothes will be kept in our transport to be used at the end of the trail.
When there are no facilities on our route such as restaurants, bars or similar, we always suggest that participants bring their own food, which can include: pastries, sandwiches, pizza, fruit, cheese, salami, etc.
First of all, we need to evaluate what the trail will be, where the trail will be, what weather we will face, etc. After that, here are some tips for a wet trail like the famous Trilha do Rio do Boi in the Aparados da Serra National Park: cap, dry fit t-shirt with UV protection and long sleeves, shorts, high socks, boots or sneakers with strong soles.
It depends on which trail we are going to take. For example, the Rio do Boi Trail (a trail which involves a lot of water), you might prefer lightweight sneakers that won’t get too heavy when wet. The downside is they offer less ankle support and increase the risk of sprains. On the other hand, hiking boots provide better ankle protection but can feel heavy and uncomfortable when soaked.
Important tip: Never hit the trail in brand-new shoes! Your feet will thank you if the shoes are already softened and adjusted to your feet.
If the trail is mostly regular and flat, sneakers are usually the best option. Not sure about the terrain? Just ask us, we will help you choose the best footwear for your adventure!
Here’s how we handle rain and weather conditions, since our experiences are outdoors:
– In summer or when temperatures are around 20°C, the events typically proceed as planned — unless safety is compromised, such as in canyon areas.
– In winter or when temperatures are around 20°C or lower, and there’s a forecast of heavy rain, the event will be postponed to a new date.
