Run, think and get full of nature
Orienteering games or races are ideal to really know an area. If you do not want the “noise” of a hiking trail, if you want to test yourself with the help of map and compass, this is your choice.
The orienteering games are basically find a number of points (beacons) hiding in a natural area previously marked on a map. Players must find them using a map and compass.
Our main characteristic is that we adapt to your level in difficulty depending on whether or not you have previous experience. Also, you can select the area to play.
The area we most recommend because of its urban and natural features is Tivissa (Tarragona).
Some FAQ’S

What if I do not like running? A very fun experience are the bike orienteering or kayaking on the Ebro. Enquire about this option. And yet another possibility is that one must look combined running, cycling and kayaking and overcome a point of archery. As a “raid” in a very affordable adventure.
