THE BUDAPEST TIMESTHE BUDAPEST TIMES

INES GRUBER

Tucked away in the Buda hills,

a short journey from Szll

Klmn tr (square), is

Kalandplya (Challengeland)

Csillebrc Adventure Park. Children

and adults can have fun testing their

strength, skill and stamina as they

climb and swing on rope courses

between the trees.

The popular park in District XII

opened in 2006. Anyone is allowed

to climb who feels physically fit

enough, is taller than one metre

and takes part in the safety briefing.

After a trial run consisting of three

to four obstacles, visitors are free to

choose their own route.

However, they must work their

way through the levels of difficulty.

Its not uncommon for teenagers

in particular to overestimate them-

selves and have to be brought down

using a rope, says one employee.

Safety first

Owner Lornd Tompos explains

that all the courses are colour-

coded according to difficulty.

Alternative routes are provided for

less-skilled climbers to avoid the

most difficult obstacles. The park

also puts on training courses for

children and adults. Visitors climb

without constant supervision but

staff are always on hand to help and

check that they are following the

safety rules.

We continuously modernise the

routes and comply with European

regulations so that safety is always

ensured, says Tompos. Reckless

climbers can be excluded from the

park at any time, he says.

Challenges

Visitors first need to fill out a

declaration of agreement with the

rules. Then they are given a helmet

and harness. Park staff help to put

on the harness and explain what

the two carabiners (metal safety

loops) and the pulley are for. The

carabiners are used for the zip-lines

marked red, while the pulley is used

for those marked yellow and allows

visitors to glide along a rope.

The obstacles are very varied,

from swinging like Tarzan across

chasms to climbing through barrels

and making it to the other side in

wooden boats, and the difficulty

keeps increasing. Between the indi-

vidual tasks there are platforms in

the trees to rest and think about

how to master the next stage.

The courses for children are very

similar to those for adults but are

much closer to the ground, so that

parents can help their offspring to

overcome the obstacles and follow

the safety rules.

Tompos says the adventure park

is continuously being expanded.

This year, for example, a new

course opened that can be used by

all age groups and in pairs.

The park also organises team-

building sessions, childrens

birthday parties and night-time

climbing tours.

BBaarrrriioo LLaattiinnoo Our Latin Dream Came True!

There was a dream about a place in Budapest where everybody is smiling and dancing on various latin rythms, where the color of your skin, language, religion, political views do not matter,

where Latin and Hungarian culture mixes. A place where you can go for a cocktail or coffee, while you can watch people dancing or just listen to music. Where you can learn to dance

as well as practice what you learnt right away!

This dream came true in November 2011 when Barrio Latino Budapest opened in the heart of Budapest at Oktogon. Franklin Camilo, the Dominican owner of Barrio is

constantly working hard on the transfer and spread of his latin culture. He brought for us his latin culture with its music, dances, food, events and latin people. Entering the door

we encounter a colorful world of latin quarter with its authentic latin athmosphere.

Several latin dance styles are represented in Barrio Latino, everyday we have different programs, different djs, different dance classes. There are Cuban, Dominican, Brasilian parties, we had tango,

kizomba, latin jazz, zumba and other parties as well.

Currently Barrio Latino is open 6 days a weekfrom Tuesday through Sunday from 9pm-3am.

Dance classes are usually from 9pm, but some classes start from 6 or 7pm already(the current schedule is on our facebook page).

Tuesdays there is salsa class from 9pm then salsa party from 10 pm,

Wednesdays there is Dominican party withBachata teaching from 9pm and welcome

food or drink from the Caribbean,

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundaysthere are Salsa-Latin parties with various djs

and occasional workshops and shows.

They also host events and private parties, so give them a call if salsa-themed birthday

parties are your thing.
