What an amazing week we have had in the French Alps! It was the first time we have travelled with Exodus and would certainly travel with them again. So well organised from start to finish, from the information given beforehand, the pick ups, accommodation, hospitality, food and hikes. All amazing! The quality of food produced by Carolina and Seb was top class.
Our guide Adrian was so kind, funny and knowledgeable of this area he made hiking so enjoyable.

Top 5 Highlights of Walking Holidays in South America
The Inca Trail: This is undoubtedly one of the most famous and iconic walking routes in South America, and the world. The trail winds through breathtaking Andean landscapes and presents stunning views of snow-capped peaks and ancient ruins. The highlight of this trek is reaching Machu Picchu, the legendary “Lost City of the Incas.” As you make your way along the trail, you’ll witness the remnants of this ancient civilisation.
Galápagos Islands: These remote and isolated islands are a haven for wildlife and nature lovers. Exploring the islands on foot lets you witness the incredible biodiversity of the archipelago close-up. From giant tortoises to marine iguanas and playful sea lions, the Galápagos Islands host a staggering array of indigenous species found nowhere else on earth. Observe wonderful creatures in their natural habitat and appreciate the delicate balance of nature that exists in this ecological paradise.
Torres del Paine National Park: This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Chile boasts towering granite peaks, shimmering glaciers and glistening lakes. The park offers a network of well-marked trails that cater to different levels of ability. Whether you take on the challenging W Trek or choose a shorter day hike, the incredible vistas of Torres del Paine will leave you in awe of the raw beauty of this region.
Amazon Rainforest: Walking through the Amazon rainforest is an adventure like no other, giving you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to discover the world’s largest tropical wilderness. The lush vegetation, vibrant wildlife and symphony of sounds are a sensory overload. As you trek through dense foliage, you’ll encounter monkeys swinging through the trees, colourful birds soaring overhead and perhaps even an elusive jaguar or giant river otters.
Lake Titicaca: situated between Peru and Bolivia, Lake Titicaca is an immense freshwater lake that holds great cultural significance for the local indigenous communities. Walking along its shores offers a unique insight into the traditional way of life of the local people, who have lived on floating reed islands for centuries. Explore the fascinating islands and interact with the locals, learning about their customs and traditions.
