A LOOK AT SPRINGS IN MEXICAN BORDER DESERT AS A POSSIBLE SITE FOR HIKING.

Hiking is an outdoor activity that besides being a healthy practice that demands care for the environment, it increases the tourist attraction. A well-planned organization for its implementation would bring economic development to underprivileged communities. This is the case of the northern Mexican region in this study, Samalayuca. The objective of this paper is to present a description of the Samalayuca zone for a possible hiking project taking as reference three springs. It mentions the analysis required to carry out the plan and probable components. As part of the outline, a manual for the laying down of trails is proposed in order to protect the tourist and the surrounding environment. This work also recommends the creation of a botanical garden. It also presents ideas from previous literature to implement different activities in order to make it a more interactive and dynamic place. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
