Difficulty
Hit the Trails hikes are classified according to a combination of different factors, such as distance, duration, slope, and terrain. Therefore, we divide the difficulty level from 1 to 5, with 1 being the easiest and 5 being the most difficult. It is also worth noting that the difficulty varies from person to person, as it depends on your physical condition and hiking experience.
Level 1 - Tour
This is the lowest level on our scale and, at the same time, the easiest. It's an activity for everyone, children at least 6 years old, and is short in duration and distance. If you're just starting out and want to try it, this is the one for you.
Level 2 - Stretch your legs
This is a moderate level hike, with a distance of up to 10km, up to 3 hours long and with little incline. It can also be practiced by beginners and children over 10 years old who are used to hiking.
Level 3 - The trail is calling!
Here, it's recommended that you already have some experience hiking, distances between 10 and 15 km, lasting 3 to 5 hours or with slopes that make you sweat.
Level 4 - Is there still a long way to go?
The challenge here requires experience and good physical fitness. Between 15 and 20 km, lasting between 4 and 7 hours, or with seemingly endless inclines. The feeling of accomplishment at the end of one of these is always great!
Level 5 - Why didn't I stay on the couch?!!
Over 20 km, endless duration, or slopes that make you wonder if you're in the Himalayas. We ask that you have plenty of experience, excellent physical fitness, and patience!
