One of the top 10 treks in the world that most people have never heard of. It's the Huayhuash trail of northern Peru. It's a small exclusive mountain range that rivals most other long distance hikes.

Embark will be hosting two dates next year - one in June and one in September.

That time in Patagonia when you were forced to wear a gaucho beret...🙄 (some wore it better than others).

So honored that our introduction of these amazing fundraisers to and worked out! They just spent a week watching their funds in action as they started construction of the Mungere School’s science building in rural Mto wa Mbu Tanzania.

So proud of all these amazing people and the kiddos they help educate. Contact or if you are interested in helping out!

Ausangate Lodge Circuit, south-central Peruvian Andes! Could not be more thrilled to give this team of fundraising oncologists the opportunity to test their bodies, and explore the beauty of the high Andes. The tallest of 5 passes is just shy of 17,000ft so it’s no joke. But the brilliance of this trek is being able to have a hot shower and sip warm drinks around the beautiful wood stoves of these remote mountain lodges. They deserve it!

Amazing scenes from the Ausangate circuit in Peru- so happy the season has begun!!!

Jeeping in and out of base camp in the remote Colorado rockies is how we get you to the best kept secret trails of the Continental Divide on our annual summer training hikes.

Top of the pass on the Continental Divide, training hike in Colorado! If you want to know how it feels to be operating on half the oxygen most of our bodies are used to, doing a training hike in the Colorado Rockies is a great idea.

"We have to travel with care, and make sure that these destinations can survive, because in the end, for the people who live in the destinations, it is their home."

Thankfully, we're pretty sure our treks don't fall under the banner of 'roudy tourism', but just a reminder to mind your manners when traveling- like it or not you are an ambassador for your home country.

Read "The world's revolt against 'bad tourists:"

As Ibiza and Mallorca say no to tourists coming to party, it's becoming increasingly clear that expectations on travellers in the world's most popular destinations are changing.

We have only 2 more rooms for Day of the Dead trek on October 30. This is an adventure trek in Oaxaca Mexico, mixed with great food, timed around this special holiday. Reach out if there is any interest. Reservations for this are very hard to come by!

Embark has been part of marriage proposals, changes in professions, forming impenetrable bonds between individuals and, most recently, the decision to become an organ donor. Rockstar Heather Sweeney was on a trek almost one year ago with a kidney donor and ended up being convinced to do the same. This week, she donated her kidney and we could not be more proud!

We never dreamed that this endeavor could hold so much power, substance and potential but we sure are glad it has developed that way over the years!

Happy Friday! What are you doing to get outside this weekend? If your answer is nothing- we won't judge (too hard). Instead you can fill your time wishing you'd been there: This is a great story about the Sherpa who raced down the mountains to announce the first summit of Mount Everest (kinda reminds me of me):

When Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary made history by reaching the summit, a courier named Ten Tsewang Sherpa ran 200 miles to Kathmandu to deliver the news. He died a few weeks later. His story has never been told—until now.
