Who will win “Desafío Discovery” (Discovery Challenge)?

A few months ago, Servimont had the pleasure to host a group of competitors from the “Desafio Discovery” (Discovery Challenge). Each one of them had his own personality, nationality but they all shared one main goal; win this challenge.

Before being selected, the contestants had to go through different medical and psychological examinations.  But not only that, they also had to prove survival knowledge in different scenarios and ecosystems. Only the best sixteen out of six thousand contestants were selected for the “Desafío Discovery”.

To form teams, these participants will have to go through what is known as Track Command. Here is where mental capacity, physical performance and survival skills will be measured.

In the Track Command, they will have to pass through different obstacles such as walking over balance beams, set fire with a flint, and finish by climbing a four-meter wall. This last obstacle will determine the team (color) of each participant.

Once in teams, they will begin the "Desafío Discovery " .  

“From the beach to the summit of Pico de Orizaba without a motor vehicle”

Thanks to Sr. Reyes for his support in this adventure; going from sea level (0m) to the summit of Pico de Orizaba without a motor vehicle. It was a tough road up to Piedra Grande on bicycle. Then two nights at the hut and the summit attempt. The weather was perfect. This was a great experience in the trip.

The first part of the trip: ride through America from La Patagonia (Ushuaia, Argentina) all the way to the mountains in Canada and Alaska.

Arrive to Tlachichuca with 23000km and there is still a long way to Alaska!

Thank you for everything!

María Teresa Carlín de Reyes climbed her “last summit”

We join, in our hearts, to her and her family in this “step” with the joy of watching the footprints, the valley, the forest, the flowers, the road, the trail and the drawbacks filled with surprises, happiness, restlessness, tears and peace that she had in her life.

  • While taking a brief walk on the mountain, receive feedback on how we communicate.
  • With a glimpse towards our inner self, discover some obstacles which restrain us to have a closer dialogue.
  • Enhance our communicative potential through non-verbal cues in  addition to language.
  • Nourish ourselves through nature which brings us tranquility, liveliness and vitality.
