Georienteering
Georienteering is a new way to explore an unknown land. Is the union of two activities:
- Geotourism
- Orienteering
Geotourism: tourism
and travels in geological places.Our planet offers unique natural scenary:
beautiful shapes, colors and wonderful phenomena.
Deserts, mountains,
canyons, waterfalls, volcanoes erupting create places of great
attraction that
invite to the adventure The nature and history of these phenomena
is a topic
that can become the inspiration to make a journey.
We
think that the trip seen as "discovery the earth" is the best way to
appreciate the beauty of nature and to understand the geological history
of what
surrounds us. From here was born the idea (not new) of geotourism
meaning
the observation of natural beauties directly on the spot.
Geotourism is made by a group of geologists
and naturalists
who, through their scientific and travel experiences, may guide you
in places
where the geology and natural phenomena occur with evidence. These
places, besides
being interesting from a scientific point of view, are often considered
the
most beautiful places on the planet.
Orienteering is a family of sports that
requires navigational skills using a map and compass
to navigate from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar
terrain. Participants are given a map, usually a specially prepared orienteering map, which they use to find control points.
Originally a training exercise in land navigation for military
officers, orienteering has developed many variations. Among these, the
oldest and the most popular is foot orienteering.
Our goal
Our goal is to teach basic orientistic tecniques (only for exploration, not for competitions), and then an exploration and to recognize geological shapes during an excursion.
