There are many other activities that naturally accompany camping. In Peru, a camping expedition can easily incorporate fun and exciting activities like hiking, biking, rock climbing and more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These activities, combined with the normal exertion it takes to set up your campsite, build your fire, etc. will have you burning more calories and using more energy than a typical day spent at home. In addition, the altitude of many attractions in Peru adds an extra challenge that helps to burn calories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our porters, who have much experience working along the trails and camping at high altitudes, are considered some of the strongest men in Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.\t<strong>Increased Mental Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.enigmaperu.com\/assets\/img\/article_400_3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enigmaperu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/article_400_3.jpg\" alt=\"5 Excellent Health Benefits of Camping\" class=\"wp-image-928\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides the physical benefits of camping, it should come as no surprise that camping is also good for reducing mental stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking yourself away from your daily schedule and commitments, as well as the restraints of technology, affords a type of stress relief that urban vacations can\u2019t provide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But more than just an escape from the day-to-day, camping can be a way to socialize with your friends and family on a new level, allowing you to forge deeper and stronger bonds with your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.\t<strong>Healthy Eating<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you may immediately think of hot dogs and s\u2019mores as typical camping foods, if you pack correctly and plan ahead, your daily camp menu can include tasty things like fresh fruits, vegetables and unsalted trail mix. However, when camping with Enigma in Peru, you won\u2019t have to worry about planning healthy meals ahead of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our trail chefs are culinary experts who use only the best local ingredients, like quinoa, an important superfood that has been consumed since Inca times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a full day of fun camp activities, your body will be craving healthy, nourishing foods, and Peru has some of the healthiest, most delicious gastronomy in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.\t<strong>Boost of Vitamin D<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.enigmaperu.com\/assets\/img\/article_400_6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enigmaperu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/article_400_6.jpg\" alt=\"5 Excellent Health Benefits of Camping\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While camping allows you to reconnect with yourself, your loved ones and nature, all that time spent outdoors means that you\u2019ll be exposed to a lot of natural sunlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A huge benefit of UV light is that it allows your skin to produce vitamin D. Vitamin D is especially important for ensuring healthy bones and teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, all that natural light helps your body produce melatonin, a chemical that regulates your body\u2019s internal clock and controls your wake\/sleep cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.\t<strong>A True Breath of Fresh Air<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you live in an urban area, you\u2019re probably already aware of the poor air quality in many cities around the world. Camping is a great way to get back to nature, where clean air can provide a plethora of health benefits for your body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cleaner air, and especially increased levels of oxygen, will help your body to produce serotonin, a natural chemical that helps to regulate your mood, appetite, digestion, sleep, memory and much more! In addition, this fresh air is much healthier for your lungs and respiratory system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply stepping out of the office and into fresh air can do wonders for your physical and emotional health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With such a deep history and so many incredible landscapes, Peru is the perfect destination for your next camping adventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Enigma, we offer many packages that include camping in some of the most breathtaking locations in this country.
