Climbing Programs | GoAbroad.com

No matter where you’re interested in traveling, chances are there’s climbing nearby. With steep limestone crags in Spain, alpine peaks in Patagonia, and pumpy tufa climbing in Greece, each climbing destination is as unique as the culture and people that surround it.

Thailand is a traveler’s dream for all sorts of outdoor adventures, and this Southeast Asian country has climbing in spades. Be ready to scoot up limestone cliffs above the Andaman sea at Railey and Tonsai beaches, or head inland to central Thailand for tower climbing and bouldering.

It’s difficult to talk about climbing without mentioning Nepal, home to the world’s tallest mountain. While scaling Everest is too ambitious for most travelers, there are many other mountain climbing expeditions for novice and experienced climbers to get a taste of the alpine environment. Trekking to Everest base camp is a popular option, while other excursions allow you to explore the Annapurna range.

If standing on top of a summit is more your style, Tanzania boasts the tallest peak in Africa. Thousands of visitors tackle the Mt. Kilimanjaro climb every year, and while it is less technical than other alpine climbs, getting to the top is still a serious undertaking.

The Warriors Gap Academy Gap Year Program has been absolutely phenomenal! From mental grit, and learning how to overcome physical limits and limiting beliefs, to exciting adventures through nature, and learning how to get uncomfortable intentionally for the sake of growth, to bungee jumping, to meeting incredible people from all over the world, this program has truly been an astonishing variety of experiences to grow personally. The facilitators and entire Warriors community are full of support, guidance, connection, and are representations of true passion for their work. I am beyond grateful for the loving community that has turned into a form of family.

Where Healing Met the Highlands – My Inca Trail & Machu Picchu Experience with IMA

In addition to my Midwifery Internship Program with IMA, I also went on the Machu Picchu and Inca Trail hike. It was a beautiful end to the trip. Other interns and I hiked the six-hour Inca Trail to the Sun Gate and down to Machu Picchu. It was no easy feat, but one I am extremely proud to have taken on. Not only were the views and flora astonishing, but learning about Incan culture and history reignited the same sense of wonder I felt reading picture books about Machu Picchu when I was younger. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will always be grateful for.
