Is a variety of excursionism consisting in walking along ways and paths. These roads are usually old communication's footpaths between villages, towns or singular places (hermitages, fountains, viewing-points,...). At present many of them still exist and are part of the cultural wealth of a country.

In trekking we can distinguish two types of footpaths, both of them have a different signposting (letters and numbers) that determines and identifies each type:

• PR or small route: are those with less than 50 km of length. They are marked with white and yellow colour.
• GR or big route: are mountain paths suitable for everyone, with more than 50 km of length. They are marked with white and red colour and avoid when possible car roads.

When we bring trekking to its extreme difficulty and our aim is to arrive on the top of a mountain, than we talk about ascensions.

In case ascensions are extremely difficult and require technical knowledge (use of technical material: ice axes, crampons, ropes,...) or rock-, ice-, snow climbing techniques, and in addition, a very good physical form is needed, than we'll be practicing Alpinism.

After initiating you and having the pertinent physical and psychological preparation, we guide and accompany you to: Pedraforca – 2497 –, Montardo – 2833 m – Puigmal – 2913 m – , Comapedrosa – 2942 m –, Pica d'Estats - 3143 m – (Catalan Pyrenees), Aneto – 3404 m – (Pyrenees of Aragon), Teide – 3718 m – (Tenerife)

The rigid helmet is the only mean that avoids 85% of head butts. By bike riding, head in approximately 1,6 m from the ground: in case of falling, head arrives to the ground at a speed of 40 Km/h in less than one second. In this short time it's almost impossible to do any protection movement and it can lead to irreversible brain lesions.

Some authors date the origin of archery about 25000 years before modern age. Archery as an amateur sport has been popular from long time ago, especially in England.

From Olympic Archery to Forest circuits, passing through different kinds of arches, Archery seems to be an exciting sports discipline: relaxation, concentration, physical exercise and abstraction capacity of this sport make it possible that it becomes an ideal complementary activity to do in nature.

Some time you've surely had the sensation of not knowing where you're: perhaps it happened in the mountain, or in the middle of a city... And in order to be able to know it, you have used all possible means. If you've achieved it, it means you can orientate yourself.

To know how to orientate oneself means:

• To know quite precisely where we are.
• To choose correctly the direction to arrive at a determined place.

This orientation capacity can be learned, because it's based on the application of different orientation techniques. Orientation techniques are based on:

1. Natural means, like the sun, stars, snow, vegetation,...

2. Artificial means, like a guide, map, compass and even the modern GPS by satellite

It consists in following the river's course along a ravine or a gorge where water flows, passing through the obstacles that erosion has done along its way. There are descents with a different difficulty level.

It can be considered that the origin of descent of ravines is speleology, but as generally this activity combines swimming, speleology and climbing techniques, than we can consider it a mixed activity, because it combines terrestrial and aquatic environment.

This activity appeared to overcome unevenness between valleys and so economize time and effort. At present, villages of South America continue using this technique with identical purpose.

Horseback riding destinations are mountain paths and itineraries, and for persons who are still initiated, we offer several days trips. To ride synchronously with horse, coordination and equilibrium are necessary. The rider has to guide the horse with precision and firmness using the reins.

Consult Initial riding lessons in riding centre.

Formerly, when there were not so many paths neither roads, highways, maps nor compasses, people oriented themselves observing and listening to nature. This is our opinion by 4x4 cars driving. Trips along different areas of our country, long distance trips, visits to places where it would take a whole day long to arrive in going by foot.

Enjoying nature, knowing how to orientate using the most modern techniques as well as common sense and classic orientation.

This is a sub aquatic sport which uses techniques of submarine immersion and exploration with different aims: scientific, professional, sports and leisure aims!

Scuba diving has ever been practiced, first without any equipment, and than with help of artificial means which make possible to increase the stay-time under water, more than the accumulation of air inside our lungs permits.

There are some rules that have to be followed during immersion. We must: check that our diving equipment is in perfect conditions, dive always accompanied, have knowledge of techniques and environment, and have a good health. To be able to do Scuba Diving, it's necessary to do a diving course in order to get a title which is homologized by FEDAS (Spanish federation of submarine activities).

The first of these trips, departing from Port Lligat, includes the new Natural Park of Cap de Creus, where geology, fauna, vegetation and submarine live meet in a singular and abrupt complex. It's a first class natural area endowed with a peculiar geological configuration, structures and outcrops, and with a specific climatology: altogether it forms a unique complex.

The second area, which departs from Cala Montgó, includes the coast of Massís del Montgrí, characterized by it's grand cliffs which are cut by small beaches, fissures, rocks, tunnels and wonderful caves, all of them justify completely its name: Costa Brava (rugged coast).
