Think the Outdoors Aren’t for You? These 2 Women Want to Prove Otherwise
Where do you go when you need an escape? The mall, Netflix … the great outdoors?
and pop-up hikes all over the U.S., including one last month in Chicago.
If this last one wasn’t on your list, Adriana Garcia and Luz Lituma, founders of LatinXHikers, want to change your mind.
There are benefits of hiking beyond the physical ones. Being outside is great for your mental health. Taking a break, even for 20 minutes, can help you feel happier and less stressed than you did before. And that, of course, will show in the way you look too. Luz and Adriana are big believers in the fact that everyone enjoys the outdoors differently — you don’t have to do a 20- mile backpacking trip to get outside! You also don’t need every piece of fancy gear to go on a trek. Go for a short hike or a picnic outdoors and help your skin and body feel renewed. Just don’t forget the sunscreen!
With their shared love for getting outside, these two women formed the group LatinXHikers after seeing a lack of representation of the Latin community in the outdoors. According to Luz, “We feel that it is our responsibility as children of immigrants to form an appreciation for our lands and to help protect and preserve them for the future.” Hiking has become a popular fitness option for everyone, including celebrities. Actress and “Slumdog Millionaire” star Frida Pinto wrote in Los Angeles Magazine that she discovered the beauty of her new home through hiking. “Once I was introduced to the beautiful hikes in the Palisades and Malibu, my perspective really started changing,” Pinto wrote. Vanessa Hudgens and Kate Hudson are also fans, as proven by their Instagram feeds. Luz and Adriana hope to bring this awareness of how accessible and fun hiking can be to younger Latinos and to the broader community. LatinXHikers now coordinates educational programming for students
