Cordillera Apolobamba Traverse

The Apolobamba Traverse is a remote, high-altitude backpacking route in the northern Bolivian Andes. Spanning approximately 92km between the villages of Pelechuco and Curva, the trek crosses the ancestral territory of the Kallawaya people—traditional herbalists recognized by UNESCO. The route follows ancient stone paths and animal trails, staying almost exclusively above 4,200m. It traverses several high passes, including the 5,100m Sunchuli Pass, offering direct views of the 6,000m peaks of the northern Apolobamba range. Due to its distance from major cities, it remains one of the least-trafficked and most preserved regions of the Bolivian Andes.

Africa's greatest canyon and one of often regarded as one of the most strenuous trekking challenges. The Fish River Canyon trek is a self-sufficient expedition through the second largest canyon on earth. Deep sand, massive boulders, and river crossings make every kilometer feel like three. There are no facilities, no escape routes, and no shortcuts. It is a raw, spiritual encounter with the geology of the Namib Desert.
