The Emergency Edil has added that "the routes will have different types of signage that will guide the practitioners to follow any of the planned routes, posts with directional arrows have been contemplated in all the circuits, beacons with the partial distances traveled in Las Alamedas and Los Brazales, as well as seven informative and descriptive panels with the plan and information on the itineraries, also includes a series of recommendations for a healthy life (physical exercise, food and psychological well-being) ".
