A beautiful walk in a quiet corner of the Peloponnese
Hiking Greece's Menalon Trail

A wonderful, scenic walk through the mountains of the Peloponnese, with ancient monasteries built into cliff faces to visit, mountain villages to explore, and delicious traditional Greek food to enjoy in the village tavernas. It was an excellent trip!

Four Unique Highlights
Walking Holiday on the Captivating Cape Verde Islands
First, while Peru has Inca trail and Japan has Nakasendo, a national symbol of this island country is a living network of cobbled paths connecting remote villages of its inland and isolated one along the coast. Instead of an iconic site, the entire cobblestone network over rugged mountains is CV’s identity because it serves as the lifelines on many of its islands. To understand and experience CV, one has to put in sweat equity and walk portions of the cobbled paths, including spirals of ... cobblestone stairways, long and twisting traversals, cliff-hugging sections along the coast, and endless switchbacks. Along the way, one finds a variety of landscapes reshaped by terraced agriculture using surface drip irrigation and a network of water canals and storages. Village women still head carry goods and supplies, a heritage from West Africa traditions, and farmers work in terraced fields, putting their heart and love to the cultivated soils.

Second, Cha de Mar, an abandoned site along the coast on Santo Antao Island, has a pyramid-shaped mountain and provides a stunning visual parallel to the iconic backdrop of the Machu Picchu Mountain. Yet this cultural heritage site has no bus-in and bus-out crowds thanks to its hike-in-only location. And unlike the section of Inca trail leading to Machu Picchu, Cha de Mar overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, where wave after wave pound the foot of the pyramid-shaped mountain.

Third, clusters of pastel-painted houses stacked on cliffside turns Fontainhas, a small village close to Ponta do Sol, to a fairyland. Terraced farming in the surrounding settings makes it even more picturesque. It is ranked by National Geographic as one of the most beautiful in the world. One has to see it to believe it.

Lastly, the ascent of Fogo summit (Pico do Fogo) is also a unique experience because once atop the main crater, a steel cable bolted to a pile of rock allows one to climb up and get onto the true peak of Fogo, with an improved panoramic view of the crater and a sea of clouds beneath, as well as Cha das Caldeiras, CV’s highest village that lies at the foot of Bordeira (the ancient caldera of Foto).

We were lucky to have Odair as our guide; his extensive experience, local knowledge, a passion for guiding, and a deep love of his country made our trip even more memorable.

In summary, the walking holiday is a well-organized package providing a spectrum of experiences and at least four unique highlights where sweat equity was required and well rewarded. We would classify some of them as real and rare gems in this increasing bus-in-and-out world.

Aconcagua February 2026
Aconcagua Ascent

A big thank you to Tom and all the team at KE Adventure for all of your support and guidance in advance of the trip. We had excellent guides for the duration of the trip and had the added luxury of sleeping in domes on the mountain :-)

Great trip
Walking Holiday on the Captivating Cape Verde Islands

I was pleasantly surprised as the trip exceeded my expectations: good hygiene levels, great food, no mosquitoes at all (dry season), a knowledgeable guide passionate about his Country, friendly locals and - last but not least - spectacular scenery. I hope one day you'll offer hiking/cultural holidays to the other islands of the archipelago too, like Sao Nicolau, Brava, Maio.

Wonderful Costa Rica
Costa Rica Walks and Wildlife

We loved this trip. Excellent organisation from KE and superb guiding by Tito and first rate driving by Don Carlos. Our group of 12 got on so well and we all enjoyed the fabulous itinerary together. Costa Rica has so much to offer and each stage of the tour offered a new experience. Superb food and excellent accommodation throughout. Thanks!

Once in a lifetime experience
Jordan's Dana to Petra Trek

We'd like to give a huge thank you to the team, led by our amazing guide Saqer, who trekked with us from Dana to Petra. We had stunning views as we walked and experienced the beauty of the sunsets from our wild camps. Saqer was a fount of knowledge about the culture and history of Jordan and our lovely tourist policeman gave us daily language lessons as we walked. This holiday is one of the best and most memorable we have ever had. Thank you all so much xx

Well organised and value for money
Costa Rica Walks and Wildlife

An excellent trip, well run and great value. We got to see a real variety of the ecology that Costa Rica offers.

Sri Lanka
Temples and Tea Trails of Sri Lanka
A wonderful active trip with enormous variety there was perhaps an over emphasis on temples and Buddhas in the first couple of days. From there on this was a hugely varied experience from the lovely city of Kandy to the iconic Lion Rock and the nighttime ascent of Adams Peak. The jungle was wonderful in its isolation, the safaris excellent and I was enchanted by the beautiful seaside city of Galle struck by tragedy a few days after we left as it dealt with the aftermath of the torpedoing of an ... Iranian naval vessel.
Our guide Sajith could not do too much even arranging for the showing of the England v Ireland (we won !) match in the jungle, an atmospheric occasion viewed in torrential rainfall on a tin roof with an audience of bats.
Our return home was delayed by five days due to war in the Gulf and spent somewhat surreally on a beautiful sandy beach north of Colombo. Not part of the tour as such we had a this rather odd addition to a very successful trip.

Amazing winter experience in the High Atlas
Mount Toubkal in Winter
A great trip to the High Atlas. The accommodation was basic as expected but the food was consistently good and wholesome, if you like tagine. Our Berber guides (Lahcen and Mohammed) were great and we learned a lot about life in the mountains. Even Storm Regina which delayed our ascent to the refuge and ultimately meant that we could not summit Mount Toubkal as planned due to heavy snow, high winds and avalanche risk, did not spoil a memorable and challenging trip. Our guides did well ensuring a ... good pace in the variable conditions and seamlessly adjusting the schedule and itinerary to offer us lots of variety and keeping us safe. I would like to make special mention of our Berber guides and hosts who supported us really well during particularly challenging weather and most importantly during
Ramadan. Another great KE experience with a lovely bunch of likeminded fellow travellers who gelled very well.

An excellent adventure
Mount Toubkal in Winter
This was my first trio with KE and a step out of my comfort zone . The group was small, seven and two guides. This was better than other providers who had much larger groups. Good choice of activities. Excellent guides. Authentic accommodation which was much better than any review you'll read on line. The guesthouse was cold but comfortable. The Refuge had two heated areas and we all felt comfortable an safe there. The couple of days acclimatising to the altitude worked well. We had EPIC ... snowfall which closed the trail and the Summit but still had a memorable adventure. Both Lacen and Mohammed were very competent guides who communicated well and provided a rewarding trip. We didn't get to summit but that was because of exceptional snowfall. I'd recommend the experience and will probably return when the weather is more settled. We would have ad two days to attempt the summit which was more than other groups seemed to get. We were up at the refuge midweek and saw the crowds heading up there at the weekend - good to avoid. If you are thinking of booking, a flask and supply of your own snacks would be advised.

So much wildlife!
Costa Rica Walks and Wildlife
This was a great trip. We saw a good variety of locations in Costa Rica - volcanos, coast, different types of tropical forest, lowlands and mountains. Many of the places we visited were a little off the beaten track and not swamped with other tourists. The wildlife was abundant and it was really helpful that our leader, Jose, was so expert at spotting it and also telling us about the plants and animals. Carlos, our driver, was also a great spotter, while driving us safely between our several ... destinations. Jose was a great leader in other ways too - an enthusiast for his country, keen to share his knowledge of its history, geography as well as of the flora and fauna; also a good manager of our group ( a great set of people, all so interesting and easy to get along with), on top of all the arrangements, and everything delivered with a great sense of humour.

I would have liked to have done more walking (times and distances covered were generally less than described in the trip notes). But it was still an interesting, fun and busy itinerary. Be prepared for some early starts, necessary to get the best from the day, but then generally some welcome free time later on. We took a mosquito net as per KE's advice, but were told on arrival that this part of Costa Rica is not malarial, and anyway we couldn't see how we could have fitted the net in any of the rooms we stayed in.

Overall, a great trip. If possible I would have given 4.5 stars and if we could have walked more it would have been the full 5.

Wonderful Patagonian adventure
Spires and Ice - Trekking Patagonia
My first time on a KE Adventure trip and all my expectations were exceeded. Patagonia is a stunning part of the world which I still can't quite get my head around. The Torres del Paine walk was challenging but achievable with stunning scenery. I also appreciated the opportunity to do other activities such as visiting the Perito Moreno glacier, day treks around Mount Fitzroy and an opportunity to explore El Calafate. The guides were brilliant- Natalia, Yasser and Pedro - very funny, extremely ... professional and willing to go the extra mile. No complaints about the food or accommodation. Highly recommended and I will definitely be booking another tour.

Great trip and experience, despite the weather
High Level Pyrenees Snowshoe Holiday

Overall, this was a good trip. We had some bad weather but that was just unlucky. Our guide, Anna, was great and made the experience very enjoyable. The location was good, the accommodation was good and we enjoyed the views (when we saw them).
The only slight negative is that every day you have to get in the mini-bus and taken to the routes. So there are no walk in and walk out routes. Which I know some other trips do offer.
