4. What do I need to bring for an off-road trip?
Make sure you have everything you need before getting into the vehicle. The 4x4 requires a lot of care, especially when the terrain gets difficult. Therefore, it is important to bring an air compressor to inflate the tires before starting the route and a second spare tire with an extra battery in case of emergency. Depending on the location of the route, different materials will be necessary. If the activity is going to be carried out on a wet and sandy terrain, it is necessary to carry plates to unblock the vehicle and a tow strap. Do not forget to check before starting the trip. However, if you have hired the service with a monitor, you will not have to worry, they will make sure you enjoy the experience to the fullest and you will only have to let yourself go. Wear comfortable clothes and bring plenty of water and some snacks in your backpack!

5. What should I know before enjoying this experience?
Before riding this vehicle, you should pay close attention to some very important issues, such as environmental care. The 4x4 car is of large dimensions and you have to go to the places being aware of not damaging the flora and fauna of the site. If you are going to cross a river, you must check the depth before entering with the vehicle because the water can be very dangerous, so you will have to analyze its state before continuing the route. In many occasions, the activities are programmed to cross the most popular coasts, but you must be careful when parking the vehicle near the shore because the tide is unpredictable and you may be surprised. On the other hand, the mountain routes can be a real maze and it is recommended to mark the way with biodegradable paint to return later without any problem.
