About the Map

The terrain of Pinar Chio combines fast volcanic ash fields with intricate rocky areas. To succeed here, you'll need to adjust your orienteering technique as visibility and runnability decrease in the lower sections. These detailed areas demand precise map reading, though the uneven ground can make navigation challenging.

Managing fatigue is equally important. The altitude may leave you feeling the effects of thinner air, and the map features a significant amount of elevation gain, adding to the physical challenge.
