Grades of difficulty

GRADES OF DIFFICULTY
It is not easy to grade trips accurately with regards to how difficult they are. The following trip denominations and their description can give you a better idea:

EASY: This trip is normally for everyone willing to go a bit further exploring culture and tradition aspects not usually experienced on a regular tour.They sometimes require extended walks or day hikes, therefore we recommend good physical health and a taste for adventure.

MODERATE: Trips that require good overall health and physical condition. It refers to trips were you spend 6 to 8 hours of hiking per day . Trails lead to passes between 4,000 and 5,000 Mts. with substantial gain and/or loss of altitude in one day. These trips are meant for people who enjoy the outdoors and usually require some pre-departure physical training.
The better shape you are in, the more enjoyment you can get out of a trip.

RIGOROUS: Treks that are longer and more time is spent at higher altitudes. Trails lead to passes over 5,000 Mts. above sea level with more intense weather and temperature changes. Excellent physical condition and health are required for these trips, previous trekking experience is strongly recommended.
