DebConf9/DayTrip
The Daytrip will be to Valle del Jerte. This is a nature centre with a beautiful landscape, natural pools, streams, and many places to walk.
It will be on Monday 27th, with the buses leaving at 10:00.
The trip takes 10:00 hours, and the buses will return at 20:00
The trip is sponsored. The caterers will provide packed lunches for everyone that is sponsored or has paid in advance, so if you're going on the trip you should make sure that you have paid for food, and if you're are not going on the trip you should make sure that you tell the front desk in time since the packed lunch will then be held back for you so that you can have that for lunch in the building.
There is a nature centre that we will be able to visit during the day. There is the chance to go swimming in natural pools, and there will be an organised nature walk.
[edit] Trip plan
We will leave Caceres at 10:00 from MT venue.
People need to bring the following:
- water
- shoes suitable for walking
- comfortable clothes
- towels
- sun lotion
First all the people will visit Jerte's Natural Centre 11:30. More information of the Center at:
Afterwards there are two posibilities:
- Go directly to the natural pool in Jerte and stay here all the day, there is shadow, a bar to buy all you need for drink and another things to eat, and a big natural pool for swimming:
- Take a route (about 45 minutes walk) through a path into the forest to reach the river of hell, refresh in the water, eat and then come back (another 40 minutes walk) to join the rest of people back at the natural pool.
We will come back to MT at 20:00
