"Volcán Barú guide"

(Optional Tip for Recovery and Prevention)
“Volcán Barú is not a typical tourist hike.
It is a high-demand ascent: nearly 9 kilometers, over 1,600 meters of elevation gain, and cold temperatures at the summit.
For this reason, besides proper gear and nutrition, the body also requires preparation.
Many hikers and athletes use a foam roller to release fascia and muscles before demanding activities.
This helps reduce stiffness in the legs, hips, and lower back, improves circulation, and allows freer movement during the trek.
Practical tip: If your hike is in the next few weeks, consult a licensed physiotherapist or healthcare professional, get a foam roller, and start using it before the trek. This will help you feel looser and more comfortable on the hike day.

Important note: This is only an educational optional tip, not a medical treatment.
Always consult a licensed healthcare professional before use.”
