Walking Holidays
Walking holidays offer travellers the chance to take in a varied range of surroundings without being cooped up as part of a busy coach tour.Adventure Company offers walking holidays to a variety of locations, meaning that travellers are sure to be able to find a destination which suits their tastes. Culture vultures and history aficionados may like to consider the Inca Trail, which gives travellers the chance to take in the terrain which used to be home to the ancient South American civilisation.
Meanwhile, sunseekers may be keener to walk around the island paradises of Madeira or Cyprus while adventurous travellers could welcome the chance to scale Kilimanjaro.
Walking the Inca Trail
Experienced walkers and even beginners are likely to be aware of the Inca Trail, which is one of the most famous treks anywhere in the world.
Travellers have been encouraged to book holidays in Peru for years, driven by a desire to walk the same routes that were trod by the Incan people hundreds of years ago.
Mountainous terrain and 4,000m high passes are combined with high-altitude rainforests on the Inca Trail. As if the spectacular scenery wasn't enough, the trail culminates in the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu, which has been named as one of the seven new wonders of the world.
Madeira Walking Holiday
Seasoned travellers may be keen to see the sights and history of the Portuguese island of Madeira. Especially popular with nature lovers, the walking holiday takes in the island's mountainous interior which is packed with unique vegetation.
Furthermore, practically every inch of flat land in Madeira's lush terraced valleys is covered with vines, bananas, tropical fruits and flowers such as orchids.
Walking holiday in Cyprus
Cyprus may be better known as a destination for beach-loving holidaymakers, but the island also has plenty to offer walkers.
The scenic routes which Adventure Company trips take in across Cyprus give travellers the chance to avoid the busy tourist locations and experience deserted forest tracks used only by local farmers.
Some of the island's many medieval ruins can be witnessed, such as the dramatic St Hilarion Castle, which used to defend North Cyprus from scavenging Arab pirates.
Walking holiday to Kilimanjaro
Travellers have been encouraged for years to book Tanzania holidays after being drawn by the challenge of walking to the roof of Africa.
Standing at some 4,600m tall, walks up the mountain's various routes give travellers the chance to take in diverse African scenery, from lush rainforest to moorland to the bare, high-altitude deserts which make up the upper slopes.
Adventure Company allows travellers to choose whether to tackle the Machame Route, the Rongai Route or the Marangu Route.
