POSTS STORIES REELS

2026 filled up fast. So we’re not waiting for the new year, 2027 Community Adventures are officially launching early.

Three hosted trips. Three bucket-list adventures. One incredible community of driven, adventurous people, just like you.

Portuguese Camino - Walk the historic coastal Camino de Santiago through charming villages and centuries-old trails. (April 17-25)

Peru: Ausangate & Inca Trail - Trek high-altitude Andean landscapes to the legendary Inca Trail and Machu Picchu. (Sept 18-26)

Patagonia: The W Trek - Hike through Torres del Paine, granite peaks, glaciers, and turquoise lakes, one of the most iconic treks on the planet. (Oct 12-17)

If 2026 taught us anything, it’s that these spots don’t last. Dates and pricing are live now, head to adventuredesk.com to see it all and lock in your spot. Link in bio. by @adventuredesk

2027 Community Adventures will be bringing a new destination - can you guess what it is? Get on our mailing list to be the first to know (link in bio)

Launching later this week. by @adventuredesk

Back in May, a group of weary Pilgrims took on the final 100km of the Portuguese Coastal Way — and we’re still thinking about it 🥾✨

From the streets of Porto to the final steps into Plaza del Obradoiro in Santiago, this Community Adventure was everything we hoped it’d be: long trail days, real challenge, and a group of strangers who became friends by the time they hugged the Apostle.

Huge thanks to @troposfc and @proactivefitness_sk for helping this crew show up trail-ready, and to our incredible Adventuredesk alumni community for the energy and support that made this trip what it was 🙌

And here’s the best part — we’re doing it again in 2027.

If watching this trip sell out has you wishing you’d jumped in sooner, don’t miss your shot next time. Join our mailing list (link in bio) or reach out directly to be the first to know when 2027 dates and details drop 📩

Everyone trains for the climb. Almost no one trains for the descent.

On the Inca Trail, the uphill to Dead Woman’s Pass gets all the attention. The part that catches many hikers off guard is the long, steep stretch of stone steps on the way down, which goes on for hours. And then again on Day 3.

Downhill hiking loads your quads and knees in a different way, so build it into your training:
✅ Step-downs off a bench or stair
✅ Slow, controlled stair descents
✅ Lunges and eccentric squats
✅ Practice hikes with real downhill, using walking poles - and even better with some weight in your pack.

Train for the way down too, and you’ll arrive at Machu Picchu with plenty left in your legs.

Save this for your training plan, and send it to the friend you’re hiking with.

4 days. 3 nights. 26+ miles. The journey to Machu Picchu.

The Inca Trail was an adventure I’ll never forget. Endless stone steps, beautiful mountain views, ancient Inka ruins and finally reaching Machu Picchu was worth every step!

What made this experience even more special was the incredible people I got to share it with. I only knew @thejessiethomas when I signed up for this trip, the others were strangers that quickly became friends.

Watching people push past their comfort zones, overcome challenges and accomplish something they might not have thought was possible. A reminder that the best things in life don’t come easy and sometimes the journey is just as incredible as the destination ⛰️

A HUGE thank you to the porters and guides who made this trek possible and feel luxurious, even with 3AM wake up calls! From carrying our gear, setting up camp, coffee delivered to our tent, gourmet meals, “welcome juice” and warm water basins upon arriving at camp, their hard work was truly appreciated! Shout out to the amazing @elangel.cha, @adventuredesk and their teams for being the best tour guides from the minute we arrived til we boarded our flights to return home!

Peru, thank you for the memories! 🇵🇪

Wow. What a journey.

From Cusco to Machu Picchu along the Inca Trail. Four days of hiking. Three nights of camping. From the Andean mountains to the cloud forest, it was an unforgettable experience. Thank you to those who walked with us, and to those who walked before us.

@adventuredesk and our guide @elangel.cha were incredible and made the whole adventure feel seamless (even though I’m sure there was A LOT going on behind the scenes).

And to our incredible porters, who carried everything, cooked elaborate meals, set up camp, and looked out for all the little things, all while making running up a mountain with a 70lb pack look easy. Thank you. 🙏

Where will we walk together in 2027?

Community Adventures are coming… by @adventuredesk

2027 is going to look different. Machu Picchu is still the finale — but how we get there? We’re switching things up. Think elevated basecamps under Andean peaks, a fresh take on the trail, and a few surprises we’re not ready to share yet.

Get on our mailing list (link in bio) to be first to hear when we launch. by @adventuredesk

In 2026 our Community Adventures were in high demand. In 2027, we’ve got some new things to share, and new ways to travel with us. Get on our mailing list (link in bio) to be the first to know whats happening in 2027…you’ll be hearing from us this weekend.

Where do you want to travel with us next year? by @adventuredesk

No deadlines, no itinerary stress — just a path, good company, and centuries of pilgrims who walked it before us.

Portuguese Coastal Camino - Sept 2026 by @adventuredesk

Ancient mountains, endless fjords, coastline that goes on forever — some views take patience to earn.
