Crossing kayaking-Visit the Delta,Tigre

Proposal

Kayaking is characterized by the ease with which the basic physical skills are learned in order to navigate. Soon, anyone with balance and normal conditions can reach an acceptable level of skill in techniques such as the Eskimo roll, paddling techniques and rescue.

However, it is important to learn from an instructor, as the physical skills must be complemeted by training in navigation, climatology,safety, rescue, first aids and geography. If this is the first time you perform this activity, we recommend to start by the 'workshop : Introduction to Kayaking"

Kayaking (K)

The skill and knowledge necessary to operate the boat.

20% of a day, little demand. Example: Trips in Delta, introductory workshop

100% programs in sea, lakes and rivers of up to 7 days in Patagonia.

Physical (F)

Physical demand to wear that we can suffer both aerobic (climbs = possible shortness of breath) and muscle (resistance = many hours pedaling), legs (descents = back / knees) and accumulated days of pedaling.

20% 2 to 4 hours pedaling on the flat or with little unevenness (1 day)

40% 4 to 6 hours of pedaling on the flat or with little unevenness (1 or 2 days)

60% 3 to 5 hours of pedaling up to 250mtrs of positive difference - 3 days.

80% 4 to 6 hours of pedaling up to 500mtrs of positive slope - 4 days.

100% 5 to 8 hours pedaling, + 500mtrs of positive slope - + 5 days.

Technical (T)

The technical difficulty is mainly based on the skill in handling the boat and the type of river that we will navigate.

20% streams and rivers with little or no currents or waves.

40% streams and rivers with currents and moderate waves - Rio Lujan, Rio Paraná.

Psycho (P)

We maintain that this point, the psychological factor, represents a relevant factor. Each one needs a factor of conviction, confidence, self-control and will power to achieve a goal. And depending on the attitude with which we face distances, slopes, terrain and many other objective factors, we can achieve performance with very different results.

60% We require more motivation, enthusiasm and concentration.

80% The activity will require us to be very connected and convinced.
