Food is an important part of every trip and we plan it according to the type of activity and effort involved. For each expedition we put together the menu in advance and adapt it to the conditions of the environment. It includes breakfasts, trail meals (snacks and lunches on the go) and campsite dinners, where we usually prepare hot meals like mountain stews, designed to restore energy after the day's effort.:
- Mountain breakfasts: energizing and complete before each outing
- Trail lunches: technical snacks and strategic stops with real food
- Campsite dinners: dishes prepared with fresh ingredients carried in by our team
- Constant hydration: safe water and hot drinks included
Yes. Each traveler is covered by a personal accident insurance policy issued for the activity:
Además, todas nuestras expediciones se desarrollan con planificación previa, incluyendo protocolos de seguridad y planes de evacuación adaptados a cada entorno.
Important Each participant is required to have valid travel assistance or health insurance covering this type of activity. For more demanding trips or those abroad, we recommend checking specific coverage based on the activity and altitude. For international or high-altitude expeditions we recommend getting additional travel insurance with altitude coverage. Our guides can advise you.
Yes. We have adventures designed specifically for families with children. Requirements vary depending on the activity
Some activities are suitable from an early age, but each case is evaluated individually based on the type of trip, its demands and prior experience
If you want to enroll a minor, please check with us before booking. Through a few questions we'll be able to assess whether they're able to take part. Our goal is for the experience to be safe and, above all, enjoyable.

We have specific training groups for trekking and mountaineering, designed for different levels. We work with functional-style routines adapted to the activity, including strength, endurance on slopes, obstacles and walks with a backpack to simulate real expedition conditions.
Training sessions are done in a group, with guidance, and also let you test and adjust your gear before the trip.
