We will then set off on a hike during which we will have the opportunity to gather natural elements that can serve as food, while observing the local flora and fauna. We will also search for a water source and learn how to purify it to ensure our survival.
Arriving at the bivouac site in the afternoon, we will take the time to learn how to make a fire, build a shelter, etc.
In the evening, we'll enjoy a delicious meal prepared with the day's foraging and gleanings , and share our impressions around the fire while gazing at the stars. Finally, we'll settle comfortably into our shelters for a peaceful night in the heart of nature!
