# Guía de Introducción al Senderismo

[Inglés](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/blog/beginner-hiking-guide)

Las actividades al aire libre son buenas oportunidades para pasar tiempo con su familia, apreciar la naturaleza, y hacer ejercicio. Si el senderismo es nuevo para usted, esta guía de la Autoridad de Espacio Abierto del Valle de Santa Clara le puede ayudar a iniciar su interés.

Aquí hay algunos consejos para asegurar su seguridad en los senderos y para tener una buena experiencia.

![packing](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/hs-fs/hubfs/packing.jpeg?width=800&name=packing.jpeg)

1. Lleve el equipaje necesario

Algunos artículos importantes para llevar son agua, comida, y protección contra el sol. La deshidratación puede ocurrir en todas las temporadas entonces asegúrese de tomar muchos descansos para beber agua. No importa la distancia de su caminata, siempre es una buena idea llevar comida, aunque sea pequeña, como una barra de granola o nueces para mantener un alto nivel de energía.

![Clothing](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Clothing.jpeg?width=800&name=Clothing.jpeg)

2. Vístase apropiadamente

Pantalones largos son muy buenos para el senderismo porque pueden protegerlo de garrapatas, picaduras de mosquitos y plantas venenosas. También es importante mantenerse en los senderos y caminos designados para evitar dichos peligros. Use zapatos cerrados, cómodos, y resistentes. A menos que haya mucha lluvia y condiciones resbaladizas, no necesitará usar zapatos de senderismo para disfrutar de los senderos mantenidos por la Autoridad de Espacio Abierto. Zapatos cómodos y atléticos funcionan para la mayoría de las personas. Se recomienda usar gorras, especialmente si está haciendo senderismo en California, pero también puede traer una chaqueta de lluvia o poncho durante los meses fríos en caso de que cambie el clima después de salir de su casa.

![Weather](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Weather.jpeg?width=800&name=Weather.jpeg)

3. Compruebe el pronóstico del tiempo

Compruebe el pronóstico del tiempo antes de irse para saber qué ropa debe llevar. Si va a hacer calor, considere usar capas ligeras que se pueden quitar rápidamente. También puede revisar la guía de la Autoridad para el senderismo durante los meses calurosos. Si hace frío, use capas que puede quitar en caso de que tengas calor mientras está caminando. Independientemente del clima, siempre se recomienda usar protección contra el sol.

![Buddy](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Buddy.jpeg?width=800&name=Buddy.jpeg)

4. Traiga un amigo

Teniendo a alguien con usted en el sendero puede hacer su experiencia más segura y cómoda- ¡y además lo disfrutarás más! Es mejor si su compañero tiene experiencia previa haciendo senderismo, pero no es esencial- solamente asegúrense de que ambos estén preparados para el viaje.

![Plan](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Plan.jpeg?width=800&name=Plan.jpeg)

5. Comparta su plan

Si vas a hacer senderismo solo, dígale a alguien su plan del día, incluyendo cuando va a salir y cuando planea regresar. No se sorprenda si el servicio celular no funciona en algunos senderos.

![Map](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Map.jpeg?width=800&name=Map.jpeg)

6. Estudie los senderos

Estudie el sendero y la ruta antes de irse para saber dónde va a caminar. Además, es recomendable tener el mapa del sendero descargado en su celular o puede tomar una foto del mapa del sendero ubicado en el quiosco de la reserva. Todos los mapas de los senderos de las reservas mantenidas por la Autoridad de Espacio Abierta están disponibles para descargar en línea [aquí](https://www.openspaceauthority.org/preserves/open-space-preserve-trail-maps.html).

![Advisories](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Advisories.jpeg?width=800&name=Advisories.jpeg)

7. Preste atención a los avisos

Si va a visitar un sendero de la Autoridad de Espacio Abierto, visite la página de las [Condiciones y Reglamentos](https://www.openspaceauthority.org/preserves/conditions-guidelines.html) para asegurarse de que el sendero esté abierto. Si va a visitar otros senderos, revise la página web de la agencia antes de irse.

![Easy](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Easy.jpeg?width=800&name=Easy.jpeg)

8. Comience fácil

Busque lugares para hacer senderismo basado en su nivel de actividad y dificultad para encontrar el mejor sendero para usted. La Autoridad organiza caminatas con una guía frecuentemente para proporcionar una experiencia guiada en la naturaleza. Visite [la página de eventos](https://www.openspaceauthority.org/preserves/events.html) de la Autoridad para encontrar oportunidades que le puedan interesar.

![Breathe](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Breathe.jpeg?width=800&name=Breathe.jpeg)

9. No olvide respirar

Es aún más valioso su estancia en la naturaleza cuando se permita estar totalmente presente. Hay que agradecerse a sí mismo por tener el coraje de intentar algo nuevo y por poder sentir los beneficios físicos y mentales que nos ofrece la naturaleza.

Finalmente, no importa a donde vayas, asegúrese de leer las reglas al comienzo del camino para saber los reglamentos del sendero. Para más consejos de seguridad, revise nuestra [guía](https://news.openspaceauthority.org/blog/trail-safety-tips)de seguridad para hacer senderismo. ¡Diviértase! Ir al sendero es el primer paso, y ya cuando lo haga, se sentirá muy satisfecho por haber intentado una nueva experiencia. Nos vemos en el sendero.
