Walking has often been described as a spiritual act. Much like yoga, walking can be used to clear the mind as you lose yourself in the perfect expression of rhythm, breathing, and moving.

Part of that spirituality comes from just how simple and routine walking is. All you have to do is put one foot in front of another. You don’t need any sport-specific equipment, particular clothing, or special shoes. You don’t even have to carry anything if you don’t want to — maybe just the house key, your wallet, and a bottle of water.

But if the act of walking itself is elemental and mundane, where you can go on a walking tour is nothing short of extraordinary. On one of Adventure Collection’s walking adventures, you might wander deep into the bush in Botswana, Kenya, South Africa, or Tanzania, where lions wait in the grass and wildebeest venture down to the river’s edge. You might trek into the mountains of central Mexico, to the recently discovered spot where hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies spend their winters. You might step lightly among the blue-footed boobies in the Galápagos Islands that are not afraid to waddle right across your footpath (sometimes even your feet!); or stand with the emperor penguins in Antarctica. You could roam the historic byways of Copenhagen or Kyoto, or trace the timeless mountain trails of Bhutan, Canada, Nepal, Peru, and Tibet. Imagine making ground-level explorations of Costa Rica, Guatemala, India, Namibia, or Vietnam; as well as many of North America’s natural treasures, such as Bryce, Glacier, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Zion National Parks. And all along these journeys, you’ll see the things that those taking faster, less reflective forms of locomotion undoubtedly miss.

While walking is good for you and your spirit, it’s also good for the environment. Walkers use no noise-polluting motors or air-quality-degrading fuels. They literally “leave nothing but footprints” when they travel.

A walking trip is a fusion of being and doing that puts you smack-dab in the middle of the action and makes you present in the moment. So take this one, now, to start planning yours, by embarking on a digital amble through our itineraries. We think you’ll like what you see.
