Sophie here. Can you believe it? We’re just a month away from launching the Soum Son Trail Hike – our first trail exclusive to Camino Women in Laos!
It's our first ever walking trail that we have designed from scratch... and I’m taking you behind the scenes on this project.

I sat down with Lisa from our Trip Design team, who spent a few days in Laos back in May, meeting the locals and getting to know the Lowland, Midland, and Highland communities. She told me about the warmth of the villagers and even shared some funny moments (ask her about the dance with the village chief!).

I’ve shared all of this (and some more) in my latest blog post here. If you’re following our work in Laos and are curious about what makes the Soum Son Trail so special for us – dive in! I’d love to hear your thoughts!

PS: Pictured here are our lovely hosts training and preparing for our very first visit there in February!

Dear Camino woman, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🎄

We wish you another year full of adventure, laughter - and of course, awesome hikes!

Your favourite bookings team will be on a short break from 20 December to 1 January. Talk to you in 2025!

In the meanwhile, it’s finally time for your ‘2024 in pictures’!🥾

With your hiking pole in hand, you have:

1️⃣ Got your hands into making a traditional Moroccan dish - tajine
2️⃣ Stopped countless times to snap a photo of the sea in Greece
3️⃣ Tapped glasses with awesome locals deep in Northern Laos
4️⃣ Diven into the traditions of Kosovo - hands-on!
5️⃣ Hiked along the Louro River in Spain
6️⃣ Shared impressions of Vietnamese rural villages over a bonfire
7️⃣ Kept your head in the game while climbing 3000 steps to reach Ulleri in Annapurna
8️⃣ Relaxed with some typical Slovenian mountain views
9️⃣ …and the usual Croatian sea-views
🔟 Lost count of the vibrant colours in Uzbekistan

What's your favourite memory of a trip in 2024? Share in the comments below.

🤩Let's play a game: "Where in the world is this?"

Take your best guess in the comments - you can guess multiple times 😜

Would you consider FIJI?

Our co-founder, Mat, just got invited to spend a week in the Fiji highlands with a group of industry experts..

(Tourism Fiji especially reached out to us as they believe that they've got something that our Camino Women would love..)
He's come back raving and is pushing us to get a new trip live as soon as possible!

Why did he like Fiji so much?
🫶The Fijiian highlands are beautiful and no tourists can be seen for hours
🫶Many of the local villagers speak English, meaning they can interact directly without a translator needed
🫶The food was great - feasts of locally grown, healthy dishes.. all vegetarian

Maybe like us, you thought the 'cultural' side of visiting Fiji had been lost to time, but that's not the case..

What do we all think?

Look at the pictures we've been getting from our group in Laos!
Feels like these Camino Women have been a group of friends travelling together :) But they just met at the start of ths trip. There’s something magical about how traveling can transform strangers into a close-knit group of friends almost instantly :)

If we were to design a brand new trip in Africa, where should we go?

Quick throw back to September with our lovely group on our Uzbekistan Culture & Tajikistan Adventure

Well, hello October! Time for a quick check in :) We did this last year and it was so much fun!

We have 192 ladies booked on our 23 trips in 2024 so far. If you're one of them, let us know in the comments which trip you went to or you're going on... and why :)

Radina here from the team at Camino Women.

We've been having discussions between all of us and our local Laos team what should we name our new trail in Laos.

A bit of history if you missed it:
We've been working on the grounds with the loveliest locals to create a trail exclusive to Camino Women. Lisa from out trip design team spent a few days discovering Laos just a couple of months ago.
And we have some good news! Our trip with the village-to-village trek exclusive experience is ready.

Woo-hoo! This is a very exciting moment for us! It's our first ever walking trail that we have designed from scratch... so you can imagine how special it is to us. It's our baby...

And that also means we get to name our trail ..

So this is where you come in. Drop us a comment with which one is your fav!
1. Soum Son Walk or Soum Son Trail..... (Translates to Community Walk)
2. Pasason Path, Pasason Walk, Pasason Trail.... (Translates to Peoples Path)
3. Su Thong Na Walk... (Translates to Rice Community Walk)
4. Ban Walk.... (Translates to Village Walk)

What do you think?

Our first ever hiking adventure in Morocco is ON! Go, go, go Camino Women 👏🏃‍♀️👩

Well... our Camino Women in Morocco are off to a great start of their adventure 🤣🫖🍯

On Day 2 of our Peaks of the Balkans adventure, we’re heading to the Sharr Mountains in Kosovo – but hold off on the trekking for now!

Instead, you’ll be rolling up your sleeves and joining the local women in an age-old wedding tradition – painting the bride’s face.

They believe the white paint reflects the sun, making the bride glow with beauty. The three golden circles represent the cycles of life, while the red circles symbolise fertility. The red and blue dots? They’re meant to ensure a happy, healthy family.

This tradition has been passed down for generations but is now on the verge of disappearing. We feel incredibly lucky to be able to share this beautiful moment with the local community. And, of course, with you :)

This gave us goosebumps, and we just had to share it.

One of our Camino women guests that is currently on our Peaks of the Balkans trip had her mom turn 80 as they go. Our bookings team in Australia and our groud team in Albania prepared a surprise for her and planted a tree in her mom's honour.

Here's what Deb shared with us:

"Thank you Sophie and a huge THANK YOU to the Camino Women's team, Adnan, Donika and Feodora for acknowledging my Mum's 80th birthday in Albania. A very special honour to have a tree planted for her at Doberdol and the birthday cake was well received by all. I appreciate all the efforts as getting that cake to Doberdol would take some logistics! Përshëndetje.

I know Mum will be so excited to hear about our celebrations and the tree when our timezones align.

Thanks again everyone, including all the great travel buddies who joined in. So very special.

Big hugs, Deb x"

Slovenia really knows how to turn it on! 🇸🇮🌟 And yes, we have to admit it's quite 'instagramable'! Our Camino women are having a ripper of a time over there, and the pics are next-level stunning! From jaw-dropping peaks to those epic hikes that make you feel on top of the world, it's smiles all 'round. 😁

We've had so many requests for harder treks so there is a new star on the horizon (hold on to your hiking boots - it's level 5).

If you went on that hiking adventure, you would:
🥾🏛️Hike Salkantay trail with a constant view of one of the Seven Wonders of the World
😋🍤Munch on yummi ceviche, juicy anticuchos and plates full of sizzling-hot lomo-saltado
🌱☕Hike 'Coffee Route' and learn all about farming the most popular drink in the world

Hint: Our sister brand Patch Adventures just had a trip to the country (picture from that trip)

We're sure you're already taking a guess where our next new hiking adventure will be to...

Bye, Bye Balkans! Our Peaks of the Balkans trip was fantastic. 🗻😶‍🌫️ It finished just a few days ago, and we're already missing the smiles, chats, and great pics from this group! Check out how the last few days of the trip went :) What a lovely way to wrap up this great experience!

Sophie here from the bookings team at Camino Women. I had to share this emotional, yet GRAND achievement for our Portuguese Camino de Santiago guests over the weekend. From the moment I booked each of these nine wonderful ladies on to this trip, I knew they were in for memories that will last a lifetime. Even in this video, you can see how well they've bonded over 116 'undulating' kilometers. It's been so special to follow along. What a journey they've had! I can't wait to hear all about it when they return home :)
