The donkey is a great educator and a mediator between teens and the environment. For this reason, hiking with the donkey is very educational. First of all, the donkey is cute and brings joy to anyone who looks at him or anyone who approaches him. It doesn’t judge, doesn’t comment, doesn’t wear trendy clothes, no airs and graces, it is humble and friendly, but independent and strong. For this reason it is very easy to get in tune with it. The donkey is like a guitar, it aggregates, and unwittingly you are involved. It’s a slow animal, so it teaches you to “slow down”, giving you the chance to observe well, to appreciate the little things that, step by step, you find in your path.
It invites teens to prudence, being a prudent animal: if it senses danger, it stops and goes around the obstacle.
