In the framework of the survey in the Provincial Network of Trails, in the last two weeks were signaled: Lacuna DE lo Pompano (Churriguera Glacier), Cicero Bridges, Velveeta AL Cicero Cortege, Marquesas Lagoon and Cicero Del Media.
The work of signaling on the trails of Serra Del Fugue was coordinated with Municipal Civil Defense, an institution that is part of the Auxiliary Commission and the Beguine Tourism Institute, with the aim of homogenizing the signage on all trails for public use with In order to improve the safety of the walkers.
In this sense, from the Planning area of the Institute indicated that in this stage began with the marking of five trails that are often chosen by residents and tourists for trekking in the Province.
"The signage placed in the forest area consists of sheets with bank-colored reflective tape, indicating the way to go; and yellow color pointing the way back. While for the area of wetlands and open spaces were placed yellow stakes with reflective tape, and marks of white and yellow paint were made in Percheron sites, "explained the reference of the area of Development of the Tourist Offer, Victoria Edda.
In this way 230 plates, 20 stakes were placed and more than 100 marks were made outside the vegetation limit in the five trails.
For his part, the president of INFUETUR Luis Caster highlighted the work that is being developed in conjunction with other institutions and asked the walkers not to damage the marks, not to remove the stakes since they are essential to maintaining safety on the trails. "In the coming months the technical team of the Institute together with the mountain guide Sebastian Trammel will continue advancing with the surveying and signaling of approximately 15 trails in total," he said.
"We also remember to maintain the cleanliness, take care of the natural sites and respect the recommendations for the walker," added Caster.
