Backpacking Programs in Multiple Countries

Backpacking adventure travel programs are offered all over the globe, for all travel styles and types; it all depends on what you are looking for. Want to head to a new country every few days and experience a mix of different cultures? If so, then backpacking adventures around the countries in Europe would be for you! If you want to focus on more outdoor experiences, New Zealand and Australia offer options visiting beaches, mountains, rainforests, glaciers, and volcanoes.

Backpacking adventure tours are a great way to dive headfirst into travel, gaining valuable experiences to feel more comfortable abroad. You’ll get to tour around with a group of like-minded travelers who you can share new experiences with, becoming fast friends. No need to worry about the details or the planning; a guide will be there to point out all the can’t-miss spots.

Scratch that travel itch by hitting up multiple countries on exciting, exhilarating, and maybe sometimes exhausting (you can sleep later!) backpacking adventure tours!

This was an amazing experience in which I learnt a lot about the world around me and myself. The trip has the perfect balance of Independence and being led as well as a balance of adventure and chill time, all amazing to bond with team mates. The trip has a nice mix of urban areas and countery side and beautiful views. Would definitely recommend. There are so many awesome opportunities to take part in and range of activities keeping you on your toes.

This was my first travel experience and it was great. Starting in Cusco was a great place to meet everyone and the city is amazing. The Salkantay trek was some of the best days of my life with Machu Picchu capping it off. So the whole trip with Quilatoa,the activities in Baños, the wildlife volunteering and the otovalo market it’s overall a great trip. I would also say though if you are going bring a bit of soap unless you’re ok with 3in1 :) and pack a bit of variety in your clothing as you will be trekking but there are opportunities to go out at night with the others on the trip.
