Tips on equipment

The natural environment is very changeable so it is always advisable to wear, even in summer, garments that protect us from the cold, water and wind.

Thermal oscillations during an excursion can be significant at any time of the year depending on the local meteorology, the altitude, the orientation of the road, the existence or not of trees, etc.

Carrying everything you need with you will make the excursion safer and more enjoyable.
