ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS
Since we will be enjoying an Adventure Trip in Fuengirola in contact with nature, and depending on the activity you do, we will also find a variety of factors that will surely influence the forecasts you should make, namely:
# HEIGHT – ALTITUDE
The increase in the Altitude causes the pressure to decrease, and with it the sensation of lack of oxygen. As you ascend you will begin to have that feeling of fatigue, avoid overexertion.
Starting at 1,500 meters, you will surely begin to feel the effects of altitude sickness, although up to 3,000 meters tolerance, in general, is usually acceptable.
# HIGH TEMPERATURES
High temperatures, as you well know, make you start losing a lot of fluids, so it’s very important:
- Drink enough water to counteract all this partial loss of fluids.
- The water must have enough minerals, otherwise you should add them.
- Be very careful with the water you drink as it is usually the main source of infections and diseases.
# DIRECT EXPOSURE TO THE SUN
If our adventures are related to the mountains, or snow areas, it is important to bear in mind that:
- You should protect your skin with long garments to reduce the amount of radiation received directly on your skin.
- Use Sun Protection Creams superior to UV20.
- Protect your head with a hat or cap. Be especially careful with your eyes protecting them with specific snow or mountain glasses.
# LOW TEMPERATURES
The low temperatures, very linked to the winter conditions of mountain sports, have their most dangerous point in freezing and hypothermia. It is essential to keep the body hydrated to delay or even prevent the appearance of frostbite or hypothermia. Never neglect the protection of the head and extremities to fight the cold.
# HUMIDITY
The humidity attached to high temperatures will cause you to lose a lot of salts and liquids. That is why, as with heat, the contribution of liquids and minerals will be vital in your trip.
# RAIN
Unless your Adventure Trip in Spain will develope in the desert, the rain is be present for any type of trip. You should always wear a good garment to protect you from the rain, surely play a good role as Windbreaker or as a third layer of the “onion” that will serve to increase, or maintain, your body temperature.
The rain will surely cause your body to lose temperature and in this way you will significantly increase the risk of falling ill and have to abort your dreamed Adventure Trip in Fuengirola…
