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.
