Security advice
Walk in a group or pair
It is always safer to walk accompanied, whether in a group or with a partner. In addition to being more fun, it also increases safety in case of emergency.
Share your location
Inform a trusted friend or family member about your itinerary and planned route. Share your real-time location with them using tracking apps.
Maintain visibility
Wear brightly colored, reflective clothing to be more visible, especially if you walk near roads or in low light conditions.
Bring a mobile phone and charger
Make sure you carry a charged cell phone in case of emergency. Also carry a portable charger or external battery to maintain the battery during the day.
Know the local emergency numbers
Research local emergency numbers and save them in your phone. You can find them in our information section of interest.
Drink enough water
Stay hydrated during the stages. Carry enough water and remember to refill your bottle from reliable sources. Pay attention to signs of dehydration.
Use sunscreen and a hat
Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen and a hat. Solar radiation can be intense, even on cloudy days.
Do not accept rides from strangers
Although most people are friendly, it is best not to accept rides from strangers as there may be risks associated.
Traffic attention
If you walk near roads, always pay attention to traffic and walk on the opposite side of the flow of vehicles to see them coming.
Take care of inclement weather
Prepare for weather changes. Wear appropriate clothing for rain, cold or extreme heat. Find out about the forecast before each stage.
Know your limits
Listen to your body. If you feel exhausted, sick or uncomfortable, it is best to stop, rest and seek help if necessary.
Don't trust technology too much
Although navigation apps are useful, don't rely exclusively on technology. Also carry physical maps and familiarize yourself with the route.
Respect local regulations
Please respect local rules and regulations, as well as private property. Do not camp in unauthorized places and respect nature.
Keep your valuables safe
Prioritize those items that are truly necessary for your trip and keep your valuables in a safe and discreet place.
