Are you looking to keep your family busy or are you looking for an original idea to interest children in nature visits and make them want to go for a walk?
We take you hunting for Poï'z with your family, through 4 Terra Aventura routes. But be careful: guaranteed addiction and acute badge collecting in sight...
To begin with: what is Terra Aventura?
It is a walk that takes the form of a virtual treasure hunt in order to captivate young and old, and transform the walk into a fun moment. The goal ? Find the “Poï’z” of each course in its “cache”, a funny little character to collect. To do this, you will move from tourist sites to unmissable viewpoints by answering riddles presented as a story, told by the Poï'z themselves.
The Terra Aventura concept in a few questions…
Why play Terra Aventura?
It is the ideal tourist activity to practice with family or friends, combining: Sport with different levels of walks (Terra Aventura is a good opportunity to walk for the whole family!), Culture, with the highlighting of the riches and know-how of New Aquitaine (history, tales and legends, art, gastronomy, etc.), and Aventura-game with humorous anecdotes!
What is a Poï'z?
The Poï'z, small characters with strong character, guide you on the Terra Aventura courses. These little imaginary beings symbolize the theme of the walk: Zéfaim for gastronomy, Zouti for know-how, Zarthus for nature, Zabeth for historical heritage... Full of humor, and loving play on words, they lead you to the discovery of surprising corners that are worth the detour. But to get there the route is strewn with puzzles to solve. The Poï'z who will guide you to the end point!
What is a cache?
The player's objective is to find the treasure which includes the Terra Aventura water bottle and its collector badges during each walk. To uncover the treasure, the route is dotted with stages and puzzles to solve.
The treasure is hidden in a location that appears once all the steps have been completed. This is why we talk about “CACHE”.
