Health-minded,
curious and adventurous travelers can revel in the bevy of
new and exhilarating Country Walkers trips. The destinations
may be familiar in name but the itineraries allow travelers
to experience these regions like never before. From Walking
Tours to Family Trips to Multi-Adventure Trips, Country Walkers
new departures have something appealing for repeat clients
and new travelers looking for that next extraordinary journey.
"Through
years of experience, we have found that people travel to a
certain destination for a few good reasons; pure curiosity
or the simple love of the destination," said Bob Ellsasser,
president of Country Walkers. "Our goal when planning
these new trips was to make this the year new travelers took
their first "walk" with Country Walkers, while savvy
travelers came back to a destination to experience it in the
most personal, satisfying and adventurous way. We're certain
our new programs will ignite a passion for exploring the world
from a truly unique vantage point-by foot!"
Country
Walkers is offering 5 new trips:
Iceland:
Walking Tour
Among the many sites on this journey, are three national parks,
some home to Europe's largest glaciers. Walkers view from
the water's edge, the majesty of large and small icebergs
drifting by in a glacier lagoon. From waterfalls to the crest
of Ingolfshofdi promontory, the home of Iceland's first Norse
settler, to the rugged sea cliffs where dozens of bird species
nest, every step of this tour ignites the senses! Walkers
pass ancient farmsteads and moss-covered lava fields where
horses and sheep roam. Evenings are spent relaxing with succulent
meals with the mountains and sea serving as an awe-inspiring
backdrop.
Spain:
Granada to Seville; Walking Tour
Starting in Granada, the walking route encompasses a landscape
of olive groves, almond and fruit orchards, rushing mountain
streams and lush valleys. Gorgeous national parks enhance
the journey, including Sierra de Grazalema National Park where
walkers wander into tiny pueblos blancos (white villages)
tucked neatly into mountainsides. The tour enters Ronda, a
lovely town featuring a stone bridge spanning a river gorge
and Spain's oldest bullfighting ring. In a quest to embrace
a destination of dazzling beauty, history and cultural richness,
the tour reaches Seville, home to flamenco, tapas and bullfighting!
The bustling Barrio de Santa Cruz, the millennium-old Alcazar
Palace and ornate buildings enhance the sense that this trip
has taken travelers back into Spain's glorious past.
