Raíces

Raíces seeks to connect the Latinx community with outdoor spaces, encouraging the discovery of parks, forests, and natural areas while promoting safe and responsible practices for interacting with the environment.
This program invites participants to disconnect from the daily grind and incorporate movement and connection with nature into their routine through accessible and enriching activities. Inspired by community unity and the bond with nature, Raíces uses hiking, picnics, and outdoor games as key tools to foster these experiences.
Actividades
Group Waks
Organized to explore trails and parks, strengthening the connection between participants and nature.
The hikes are low-impact, environmentally respectful, and suitable for all ages and physical abilities.
In collaboration with other organizations, some of our hikes may combine hiking with birdwatching, animal tracks, tree, flower, insect, or other local wildlife identification. Each of our activities promotes learning, appreciation of flora and fauna, as well as the conservation of natural spaces.
Outdoor Photography
Theoretical and practical activities designed to develop basic photography skills in a natural environment. Participants will learn to use simple tools, such as cameras or mobile phones, and apply techniques of composition, natural light, and focus to capture special moments, stunning landscapes, and the biodiversity of the visited spaces.
This type of activity fosters not only creativity and observation but also appreciation for the unique details of natural environments and the value of conserving them.
Hike, Picnic & Games
An all-inclusive activity that combines hiking, outdoor games, followed by a community picnic. This experience is designed to foster a connection with nature and strengthen bonds within the community.
By sharing moments of recreation and teamwork, we not only promote a healthy lifestyle but also help build strong relationships among families, friends, and colleagues.
Additionally, this type of outdoor activity encourages cooperation, communication, and a sense of belonging, creating inclusive spaces that enrich both individuals and the groups that participate.
