To make your adventure as successful and fun as it can be, there are a few quick tips to keep in mind.
- Looking for a company to book your via ferrata and zip-line excursion with? I highly recommend choosing Natura Vive. This was the company I used, and the staff was incredibly friendly, not to mention extremely knowledgeable. The packages are reasonably priced, too.
- Wondering what to bring on your excursion? Make sure to wear lightweight clothing and good shoes. I wore tennis shoes and didn't experience any issues. Make sure to bring along a bottle of water (or two) since your excursion will last a couple of hours. Carrying a small backpack is also helpful. In addition, don't forget to lather up with sunscreen, as you'll be directly exposed to the beaming rays.
- Above all, allow yourself some time to acclimate to the high altitude. Because this area sits high above sea level, allow yourself time to become adjusted in order to avoid altitude sickness. Make sure to drink lots of water before your trip, during your flight, and once you arrive. While you can also drink coca tea to ease any dizziness you might be feeling, be careful not to drink too much if your stomach is not used to it.
