A famous guide says the essential of a quality walk are great scenery, tolerable weather ,suitable level of difficulty and something like ecology ,history or culture.These may seem like unclear instructions , but the fun of walking tours is that many things are determined by the traveler. Someone who appreciates hot climates ,wildlife and flat areas could choose a walking tour in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park.Travelers who don’t mind the cold and enjoy adventure could hike Patagonia, an area of southern Argentina east of the Andes. In general ,independent travelers can decide how far to go each day, while guests of a tour agency should expect to walk an average of four to eight miles a day.At the Fordland National Park ,for example, there are several easy-to-difficult hikes, giving travelers many choices. 28.Which of the following does NOT make a quality walking ?
