How to live a Retirement Lifestyle at age 40
2024-03-09 10:00 - 11:30 | Zoom
Consider the typical retirement age falling within the 55 to 65 age range.
However, do you truly wish to postpone your opportunities for travel and leisure until then?
Are you confident that you’ll possess the financial means to relish freedom from schedules and work obligations?
Contemplate the prospect of having ample free time.
Does it evoke any concerns for you?
Prioritize your health.
Will your retirement primarily revolve around medical appointments?
Whether you’re in your earlier years or past the age of 40, it’s never too late to assess your financial and health plans, gaining clarity on your current standing.
Regularly evaluating your progress is essential.
Have you conducted a thorough check-in recently?
Strive for financial stability beyond merely covering expenses.
Aim for a fulfilling life rather than merely waiting for its end.

Hike to Turure Watertep (kid friendly) - Easy Hike
2024-03-10 07:00 - 13:00 | Palance868 Adventures Club
????️????????????????????????????????????????????: Turure Watersteps, Cumaca River, Valencia

???????????????????????? ????????????????????????????:
One of our most enjoyable hikes yet! This destination is as magical as it is breathtaking. Within the forests of Cumaca lies a series of three beautiful spread type waterfalls, where curtains of water cascade down limestone faces. These waterfalls are immediately after each other along the Turure River. At the base of each waterfall is a pool that invites you to take a swim. The third waterfall has several pools as the limestone forms a firm base for the river as it flows downstream. Here the pools are of varying depth with some being very shallow and some being deep enough to take the plunge off the top of the limestone rocks.

???? ???????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????:
o Difficulty Rating: Level 3/10
o Intensity: Easy to fair
o Duration (one way): 40 mins to 1 hour
o Terrain Description: A relatively easy hike (dependent on one’s fitness) through the forest. There is 1 moderate uphill climb about 10 mins into the hike. The majority of the hike is along trails that run either parallel to or along the river. We cross the river at a few shallow points & no more than 2 feet, at these crossings, your shoes will get wet. The trail usually has parts that will be muddy if there was any rain the week prior to this hike and the roots and rocks can be slippery therefore shoes/sneakers with good grips are highly recommended (NO CROCS, NO SANDALS, NO BAREFOOT, NO CONVERSE/CONVERSE STYLED SHOES). There is no mandatory swimming involved in this hike unless you decide to swim at the destination.

o Location of start of hike: Cumaca, Valencia
o Approximate start time of hike: 7:30 am
o Time at destination: 30 – 45 mins
o Approximate end of hike: 1-2 pm

These times are based on average driving & hiking times and can vary based on traffic, the fitness of the group and how fast we move, the amount of rest stops taken, any unforeseen variations in the terrain (e.g. fallen trees), the weather etc.

Seas the Day in Paria-dise! - (A "Paria by Boat" Adventure) - Very Easy Hike
2024-03-23 07:00 - 15:00 | Palance868 Adventures Club
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Always wanted to visit Paria but want to avoid the strenuous hike? Well you’re in luck! We’ll be taking you there for a full day of relaxing and bathing BY BOAT!

Paria Bay & waterfall is a definite bucket list item! Come enjoy the majestic views of famous Cathedral Rock, walk along the lustrous Paria Bay beach and enjoy a refreshing dip in the gorgeous plunge pool that the Paria Waterfall cascades into.

Is Paria by boat is right for you?
Here’s some more info. There are only 2 ways to get to Paria. A strenuous 2-3 hour hike either from Blanchisseuse or Brasso Seco or a 20-30 mins baotride. The only boats that go to Paria Bay are fishing boats. This is what we will be taking. We always choose Blanchisseuse’s most experienced boatmen for these trip and they always deliver on safety. Your will be assigned a US Coast guard certified personal lifejacket for the day which MUST be worn on the boat both going & coming. If you are extremely fearful of boats and boatrides or get extremely sea sick, this trip is not for you.
We are limited for space & weight on the boat so large coolers are not allowed. Small cooler bags are welcomed. All usual Palance868 hiking rules apply. Alcohol and smoking of illicit substances is not allowed as it becomes an added risk to manage and ensure that all persons stay within their tolerance limit. Therefore, we expect persons to be fully sober going and coming to prevent any unnecessary complications.

Departing early ensures we get the seas as calm as possible.
This trip is subject to the seas being favourable for this trip so if we have any tough seas bulletins or the boatman experiences bad sea conditions the day before, this event will be cancelled/postponed and full refunds issued accordingly.

For proper accountability & group size control, a booking is required for all our events.

WhatsApp us at 747-9655 to book.
When booking please provide the following:
1) Name & cell contact
2) Age
3) Any major medical issues. This includes allergies to insect bites, asthma, heart issues, bone or muscle injuries.
4) Swimmer or non swimmer?

Rating: 1 easy peezy – we’re taking the boat!
Average Boat Ride Duration: 30 mins (one way)
Cost with boat transfer: $300

This includes the cost of the boat to and from Paria bay, life jackets and guides to take you from the beach to the waterfall & cathedral rock
(Security for vehicles provided at a cost of $25 per vehicle payable on the morning to the Marianne Bay Facility in Blanchisseuse)
Assembly: 6:00 am. Opposite Sam’s Bar, Maracas. We then drive

Lower North Oropouche Hike & Exploration
2024-03-31 07:00 - 15:00 | Palance868 Adventures Club
Palance868 Adventures furthers our enjoyable river exploration events by venturing into the Oropouche River in the peaceful east village of Valencia, for another guaranteed amazing day.
This particular journey begins at the popular spot along Valencia Road. We embark upriver along a shallow, gentle current, passing some pristine, emerald green pools ideal for a refreshing cool down. A small waterfall off the trail is also available for our viewing pleasure. We will then be greeted by a spectacular, otherworldly gorge, where we will be required to swim for roughly 3 minutes to get across. Further upstream takes us to a line of beautiful rocks with cascading water and another gorgeous pool to sojourn in, where we will stop and relax along the bank. The river can be further navigated to locate a few other pools, before we make the return journey downstream.
