Dlium Wilderness adventure with family and children

Find out information

It is very important to know the adventure area that will be explored with the family. Look for light tracks, especially for children. Try to look for wilderness with safe tracks and areas that are drier or not too much water.

Give illustrations and motivation

It is important for children to know the terrain that will be taken and the activities that will be carried out in the adventure. Parents also have to tell them to always be introspective. Assure them that this activity will be an exciting and unforgettable activity.

Choose comfortable and safe shoes

Nothing can replace the comfort of explorers in the wild besides shoes. Choose those that are designed to protect ankles and anti-slip. Be sure to wear socks to the knees to avoid injury, and insect bites. Avoid using open sandals for children.

Bring enough supplies

Children need energy to do adventure. Bring a large bottle of drinking water and light snacks that are full, such as whole wheat bread. Avoid too much sugar eaten during the trip.

Teach ethics in the wild

The wild is useful for learning to respect one another. Teach children to respect plants along the track and do not carelessly pick, always keep calm and do not throw litter.
