El Camino Travel

Hey everyone, it is Katalina (@theyoufinder) reporting from our first small group trip to Oaxaca. It has been an incredible three days with an absolutely INCREDIBLE group of travelers! Head to our IG stories to check out the behind the scenes of the El Camino experience and our time here in this beautiful region if Mexico. Interested in joining us? Our next three trips to Oaxaca are sold out, but we just launched a new set of dates for February 2022!!

This view from the terrace of @thecasavioleta never gets old 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On our Nicaragua Small Group Trips, half the group stays here and half stays just around the corner at @tribalhotel. Both were designed by the same people, both have an epic pool, lush gardens, impeccable design, and tons of other wonderful things in common... you really can't go wrong. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So grab your passion fruit margarita (our friends at @tribalhotel make the best one in town!) and watch the sun as it sets over the sleeping Mombacho Volcano to the south. // 📸 @theyoufinder

Hey, it's Katalina, co-founder and CEO of El Camino Travel. I'm here with some news... I'll be going on the October 20-25 Oaxaca trip! Now's your chance to travel alongside me. Can't wait to meet you. 👯‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you thinking about joining this trip? Comment below and I will personally follow up (seriously). // Video via @theyoufiinder #elcaminotravel

Don't forget to book your seat at the table for our upcoming Uruguayan BBQ event in Brooklyn, NY! We are so excited to be joining forces with the legend himself, @gauchonfire. This is so much more than your average dinner... this is an *experience*. Tap the link in bio to learn more and book your spot! // Video by @gauchonfire #elcaminotravel

We’re planning a Uruguayan-style BBQ event in Brooklyn, NY and you’re invited! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ok everyone, we are super excited to share this news with you. First, this is the first time we have planned an event like this on U.S. soil and we cannot wait to see you in person. Second, we have been HUGE fans of @gauchonfire for years and have been trying to figure out a way to collaborate with him. The stars have aligned and we are organizing this BBQ event which will be so much more than just a meal, but an *experience*. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chef Gabriel (aka @gauchonfire) began his gastronomic journey around the fire in his native country Uruguay, where every Sunday his family gathers around the fire to cook and tell stories.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @gauchonfire creates culinary experiences using an open flame hearth and century-old cooking techniques. Each glorious meal is crafted using high-quality products. The aromas generated by firewood and the texture of the grills (which they designed based on the Uruguayan BBQ tradition) are what make these meals uniquely Urugyuan. But best of all, the wood-fire cooking serves not only as a way to cook the delicious food, but it’s also a show for all to enjoy. This fiery spectacle provides comfort and brings the group together creating not just a meal but an unforgettable experience.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Join us on July 15! There are only 25 spaces available at this dining experience. ECT Clubhouse members pay $45 (with a coupon code shared in The Clubhouse!) and non-members pay $65. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are accepting reservations NOW! Tap the link in bio to book your seat at the table. We can’t wait to see you there! // Video by @gauchonfire #elcaminotravel

Destination Scouting: Bolivia

Destination scouting: Bolivia. People ask us all the time how we find our off-the-beaten-path experiences that make up our Small Group Trips. We spend countless hours on the ground in each of our destinations connecting with locals, tapping into the creative scene, and taking our time to uncover the most intriguing hidden gems. It's not quick or easy, but it IS always fun and rewarding. The power and fearlessness of the Cholita wrestlers of Bolivia is just one of the experiences that we can't wait to share with you!

Travel to Nicaragua!

What if we told you there is no filter on this video 😮😍🤭 #itstrue. Want to travel there with us? Heads up: Our November trip to Nicaragua is selling out fast! Only 3 spots remain on our one and only Small Group Trip to this tropical location this year. // Video by @theyoufinder for #elcaminotravel // Video by @theyoufinder for #elcaminotravel

This is one of our favorite BTS moments of all time! On a scouting trip to Bolivia in 2019, we were invited by @chuflyimports (now an ECT Clubhouse member!), the Bolivian-American Chamber of Commerce, and @avianca to discover one of Bolivia's hidden gems, the wine region. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Being surprised by a destination and digging into the unexpected is our M.O. This unplanned and unstaged moment unfolded after a full day of touring some of Bolivia's most stunning vineyards.🍷🍇 // Video by @theyoufinder for #elcaminotravel
