Country Walkers - for the Curious and Experienced

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.

Alaska: Kenai Peninsula; Multi-Asdventure Tour
The Ultimate North American frontier destination: Alaska. By combining spectacular walking routes with other exciting activities, this tour becomes the ultimate outdoor vacation.
