Hiking and Outdoor Activities: More Than Simple Sports

Initially, hiking was practiced only by those who belonged to mountaineering or rambling clubs, but over the years, it became more mainstream.

According to María Belén Gómez-Martín , hiking stopped being something focused on sports or even on culture and became an alternative form of tourism and leisure.

This is how hiking became a profitable option to develop and improve life in different cities and villages worldwide.

But what is hiking?

It’s nothing more than an activity that involves walking on trails and roads in natural environments such as mountains and valleys.

It’s a mix of non-competitive sports and tourist activity with a medium or low degree of difficulty, depending on the place chosen to practice.

In addition, it’s a simple activity that doesn’t require spending a lot of money on clothing or accessories, which makes it perfect for almost all segments of the population in the world.

Hiking promotes a healthy lifestyle since it can be practiced by anyone regardless of their age.

Each route can be classified according to the difficulty levels of the path type. If the path is narrow or irregular, has stones, is humid, etc.

But it’s also a tourist activity since you’re in contact with nature, the history and culture of the country or the place where you do it.

Also, through this practice, tourism is encouraged, and therefore the local development of rural areas is supported through guides or self-guided programs.

Benefits of Combining Language Learning With Outdoor Adventures

In 2014, research was carried out on Outdoor Adventure Education , which sought to demonstrate the benefits of this type of learning.

The results are divided into five categories: personal skills, social skills, technical skills, human-nature relationships, and cultural and global diversity/perspectives.

In the personal skills category, results were found, such as improved self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-awareness.

In social skills, development was found in skills such as leadership, learning to make decisions, and teamwork.

The development of technical skills varies according to the type of activity they choose to develop. Still, in general terms, the use of maps and compasses, outdoor cooking, and canoeing, among others, is shown.

In the category of human-nature relationships, it was found that people have a better appreciation and awareness of natural spaces and the protection of flora, fauna, and the environment.

Lastly, we have the benefits of cultural and global diversity/perspectives that shape points of view and allow students to interact with other cultures and people.

In her article, Jude McKerrecher, a teacher at Modern Languages in Edinburgh, tells us about the importance of taking language learning outside of the classroom.

One of her goals is to increase Learning for Sustainability, inspired by UNESCO’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development.

For her, students must develop core skills so that their actions and options positively impact the preservation and safety of the planet.

Combining learning a language with outdoor spaces allows teachers to take advantage of nature to give children stimulating and enriching learning.

In addition, the benefits are priceless since they also include stress release, improved mood, combat insomnia, and strengthened muscles.

And, of course, by learning a second language while hiking up a small mountain, students will appreciate the cultural exchange. While on a trail they can learn about the history of the community in which they find themselves in.

Essential Hiking Words for Your Vocabulary

Before planning your next adventure, it’s time to learn some hiking vocabulary to feed your Spanish repertoire.

We can start with hiking words related to utensils you should take during this activity.

We also have a vocabulary in Spanish to describe the landscape or characteristics of the place that surrounds us to guide us.

And finally, we want to share hiking in Spanish slang to sound like an expert on the subject and for other hikers to understand what you mean.

Useful Conversational Phrases and Expressions

Now that you’ve learned about vocabulary and slang in Spanish, it’s time to show you some phrases you can use to start conversations with fellow hikers.

Hago senderismo por lo menos una vez cada dos meses.

I hike at least once every two months.

Nunca hemos hecho senderismo en América del Sur, ¿cómo es?

We have never hiked in South America, what is it like?

Mi padre prefiere que haga senderismo en vez de excursionismo porque es un deporte menos intenso.

My father prefers me to go hiking instead of trekking because it’s a less intense sport.

Si no traes una brújula, al menos asegúrate de que el GPS de tu teléfono sirva.

Hiking Places in Latin America With Unique Landscapes

Nothing compares to being surrounded by nature while exercising and practicing your Spanish.

We want to share with you some hiking destinations in Latin America that you will love and want to know each of them.

1.   Ajusco Summit Trail (Cumbres del Ajusco National Park), Mexico

This is one of the most popular hikes in Mexico, located near Mexico City.

This hike is about 3,900 meters altitude and is not for the faint of heart. But it’s worth the effort and adventure if you want to enjoy some epic views.

Here you can have some beautiful panoramic views of the valley. You will hike through the forest and then enter a more challenging terrain. 

It’s a 10-kilometer trail in a loop path and a high-altitude trek, so you must acclimate before attempting the summit.

2. Peñalara Natural Feature, Hiking Trail, Spain

If you want a more relaxed hike that doesn’t leave you in pain the next day, this is your option!

This place is located north of Madrid, the capital of Spain. The highest part of the mountain is located at 2,400 meters high.

The trail takes approximately 3.5 hours to complete from the ascent to the descent.

On the way, you will pass through the Peñalara Natural Park, where you can meet many reptiles and amphibians. You can also run into vultures and eagles on the way.

3. The Quilotoa Loop, Ecuador

This is a beautiful place for hiking with moderate difficulty but full of views that will take your breath away.

The duration of the activity is approximately 2 to 3 days. You will start in the village of Sigchos and travel through the Toachi Canyon.

Then you will visit the village of Chugchilán, the Quilotoa Lake, a volcanic crater filled with turquoise water.

During the tour, in which you will reach an altitude between 2,895 to 3,960 meters, you will pass through small Andean villages, where you will find eco-lodges, hostels, and haciendas.

It’s also an excellent opportunity to learn more about the local culture and lifestyle.

We also recommend these other four options in other Latin American countries:

Una aventura de camping Script

October 2, 2013

This is a modified version of one of the very first scripts that I used when I first began TPRS back in early 2010. The original version came from Ben Slavic's blog, back when it was open access. I have modified it to work with the structures that I want to target (so that it fits into my curriculum map), and it is always a big hit! This is also one of the very few scripts for which I have four structures instead of three, and that is only because 'durante la noche' is hardly a new structure for the kids (they should be familiar with it by the time we get to this story, but we have never officially learned it), and they should also know 'duerme'.

This is the PERFECT story to use if you teach a unit on reflexive verbs or on legends and scary stories! Even better, the unit plans that accompany this script are FREE.

• Download a FREE four-day unit to teach this script here!

CORE VOCABULARY

durante la noche - during the night oye algo - hears something se despierta - wakes up se duerme - goes to sleep

STORY SUMMARY

The main character goes camping in the woods with a friend or animal. They fall asleep at a certain time, and during the night they hear something and wake up. They look through the door of the tent and see something or someone that is doing something. They are afraid/sad/happy and go somewhere else, where they once again put up their tent and are awakened in the night by a noise.

Camping in Tenerife – All You Need to Know

• April 26, 2023

Camping in Tenerife is such a splendid experience! The island has a breathtaking nature, astonishing coastlines, volcanic landscapes, black sanded beaches, green forests, and a clear night sky, giving a perfect opportunity to see the Milky Way.

Camping is a great way to soak up all the natural beauty this island has to offer. You can find many campsites on the island, and in this blog post , you can read all the precious information before your camping trip in Tenerife 🏕️ 

The island has few options for camping; accessible forest areas , paid campgrounds, or designed camp areas where you can pull over your camper overnight. Camping facilities vary from campground to campground. Some are in the middle of nowhere, some have simple facilities like a fire pit, and some have running water, toilets, and showers. You can choose the right campground that suits your needs, I am sure 🙂

Even though camping is legal on the island, you must obtain a permit to camp in free forest campgrounds and designed camping areas. You can get the camping permit by applying online here or going to the Department of Environment, Landscape, and Sports in La Laguna. Please request this permit beforehand since getting it takes a few days.

It is important to note that wild camping is not allowed in the nature reserves and on the beaches around the island, because of the forest fires, especially during the summer. Plus, the goal is to keep nature clean and not disturb animals.

Stay informed and never miss a beat!

Camping Tips

Camping vocabulary in spanish, how to reserve a campground, paid campgrounds, designed camp areas.

⛺ The weather conditions can be unpredictable in Tenerife – ensure you have the right camping gear, such as a waterproof tent and appropriate clothing. 

⛺ Apply sunscreen repeatedly during the day, and don’t forget to wear a hat or cap.  

⛺ Remember to have plenty of water while hiking and camping.

⛺ Some places are located far away from supermarkets or any civilization, so bring the food with you.

⛺ Don’t leave any trash and waste behind – human waste included. If there is no toilet near your campsite, ensure you will bury any human waste.

⚠️ Camping at higher altitudes in winter isn’t recommended because it gets freezing at night.

As we are a Spanish school, we thought you should be prepared and know some camping vocabulary in Spanish. So you can ask fellow campers for equipment such as a knife or map.

Free Forest Camping

Many free forest campsites are located in the most beautiful parts of the island and are a great alternative to experience wild camping without breaking the law. Most are in wooden areas, so avoid starting bonfires as they can cause a disaster. 

See the map below:

As mentioned, most campsites are in the middle of nowhere, so you should bring all the necessary camping equipment, enough water, and food. However, some are relatively close to civilization, with restaurants, bars, and supermarkets in nearby towns.

Don’t forget to take care of your belongings and make sure your car is locked. 

1. Go to this website . You will see a map with campsites below the list. Choose the one you want to camp at.

2. Click on the desired campground in the list. On the new page, you will see a calendar. Choose a date , fill out how many people would come , and the date when you leave . If you need a place for a caravan or car , you also need to specify that. When all are filled in, click on “ Siguiente paso ” and there you need to fill out personal information.

3. That’s it! Now you can start preparing for our camping trip!

As you will see on the calendar, all reservations can be made for the next 15 days – booking the camping place later is impossible.

The benefit of paid campsites is having a wild range of facilities such as hot showers, running water, toilets, mini kitchens, and food options.
