Extreme tourism
Someone has enough for a vacation trip to the country,someone goes to the ocean where everything is included, spends the days abroad from excursion to excursion or basking in the sun, and someone is looking for adventure, chasing a bicycle or car around the world, rafting along the rough mountain rivers in pursuit of new impressions. And what is the nature of extreme tourism? - risky rest?
When traveling, you find yourself in new places, trying to survive in an environment unknown to you. Always is rules of survival and before you go anywhere, carefully study them to reduce the risk of injury.
Let's consider some kinds of extreme tourism: mountaineering, rafting, kayaking, diving, pedestrian, automobile, mountain, industrial tourism, speed and hitchhiking. Exist the official classification of trips in complexity levels: and from the first to the sixth. The definition of the level depends on the duration of the route in days, the presence of difficult-to-reach areas, the length of the route in kilometers. This can also be attributed to the weather: if you are overtaken by a storm or a snowstorm, the level of complexity increases.
Mountaineering - one of the most difficult types of extremetourism, but very interesting. On the way you have to overcome various obstacles: rocks, rivers, glaciers and icefalls. There are several types of mountaineering: high-altitude, rock climbing, combined rock-snow-ice climbing, Big Wall. They differ in the height of the route, the technique of passage, equipment, weather conditions.
Mountaineering gave rise to the development of sport climbing, ice climbing, ski-mountaineering and mountain tourism. If you want to do mountaineering, start with mountain tourism or climbing.
Pedestrian and mountain tourism differ from each other by route, levelcomplexity and equipment. In mountain tourism mountaineering equipment is used, and the main goal is the passage of the route of a certain complexity. We can say that mountain tourism is a high level of hiking. But if a pedestrian trek through the desert, it will already be difficult.
Lightweight a similar kind of tourism for pedestrian and mountain, but differs less equipment and reserves, due to what is considered extreme.
Last time began to develop actively cycling. There are also 6 categories of complexity. For the first category of cycling, the minimum length is 300 km, and for the sixth - 800 km and 500 km of them - the road with swampy areas, forest windbreaks, overcoming of rivers and crossings. In 1980, an international association of Esperanto-speaking cyclists was established - BEMI. The association often organizes cyclingTours in European countries, to which cyclists of different nationalities are invited. Let me remind you that Esperanto is an artificial universal international language.
In summer, rafting and kayaking. These are water kinds of tourism. They are distinguished by alloying means and water boiling. Rafting - rafting on special rafts on rough rivers. Kayaking is divided into sea, rowing, downhill and freestyle in stormy waters. It also includes hiking in canoes, which you can go to beginners and even with children. More details are described in another article.
With technological progress and urbanization of the population came the industrial, car tourism and hitchhiking. The advantages of car tourism are the amount of things you can take with you. The disadvantage is the limited roads.
Hitchhiking - traveling on foreign transport. To be an autostop, you need to know thembody language, be able to cheer the driver who drives you. Most often they are truckers who are long behind the wheel. They will gladly drive you and talk. This type of travel is one of the most inexpensive, but one must also take into account its instability: it is not known who, when and where you will be driven.
Industrial tourism, As well as many others, has arisen with the purposesatisfaction of research interest. Only objects of study are buildings, abandoned and engineering structures of an industrial nature. Industrial tourism is divided into urbanism, walks along the roofs (rufing), exploration of underground structures (diggery), visits to abandoned religious buildings (post-pilgrimage), penetration into protected areas (infiltration), psychogeography.
Diving - Journey to a poorly studied habitat. It is subdivided into scuba diving with devices that contain an air supply, and free-diving (apnea), without additional equipment.
Extreme tourism gives you the opportunity to test yourself and your body. To such a vacation ended without serious consequences, think through your actions to the end, take all the security measures necessary for your kind of tourism. Follow the basic rules and then you can reach the goal and fully enjoy extreme rest.
