All minors must be accompanied by an adult.

You should have a relatively good physical condition to participate in this activity. If any of the participants of the group have physical restrictions, especially in the lower limbs, claustrophobia, asthma problems, respiratory sensitivity, diabetes, or any other type of health limitations, please inform your instructors in advance. Participants with a sedentary lifestyle might find this activity a little demanding.
