25.01.2022 Our Larapinta trail journey is the heart and soul of our business and for me has always been a place of great physical and emotional significance. It's where our business began and it is a wonderful environment to reconnect with nature, and simplicity and take stock of what is important in life. At a time when we often find ourselves challenged by the stresses of local and world events, this amazing walk offers the opportunity to disconnect, relax, sleep under the huge star s...tudded sky, walk through an ancient landscape and enjoy stunning food and wine around the campfire each evening. This year we're delighted to have a number of our much-loved guides from 2019 returning for our 2020 season. After receiving amazing feedback about our guides over the 2019 season, we know you'll be in for a treat this year with our sensational team taking care of you.

20.01.2022 The last week of April and the first week of May has for the past 15 years, been the time when we build our camp on the Larapinta trail ready for our walking season. This year the season has been cancelled due to the covid 19 virus and the very wise move on the part of the NT government and all local Land Councils, to close borders and enforce strict rules to protect the health of indigenous communities. We absolutely support this decision and it has been very effective. I have however over the past few days felt a twinge of homesickness for our beautiful camp, Alice Springs and the friends who live there, the Tjoritja /West MacDonnell National Park and our wonderful guides who have been an integral part of this fabulous tour. So here’s a little post to show what we’d be normally doing during these weeks.

18.01.2022 Yesterday would have been the first day on our May Camino de Santiago tour when the group meets in Bilbao before travelling to St Jean Pied de Port via San Sebastian for a delicious pintxos lunch. Today’s walk is one of my favourites when we take the spectacular path over the magnificent Pyrenees from France into Spain. Thankfully it will be waiting for us when we return in April/May next year. Dream on and Buen Camino to all our wonderful guests who are joining the 2021 departures. #epicurioustravelcaminodesantiago

17.01.2022 Every year Epicurious travel has been fortunate to attract the most amazing young guides to work with us on our five month season on the Larapinta trail in Central Australia. 2019 was no exception and our core team of guides Kyle Hodgkinson, Adrien Butler, Jose Rodriguez and Rhiarnna Bishop were incredible. The feedback from our guests was outstanding. With the essential postponement of our 2020 season, Kyle and Adrien have shared their thoughts and reflections about working with Epicurious travel on the Larapinta trail.

10.01.2022 Our much loved Larapinta Trail tour will be celebrating its 17th year of operation this year. It's a great way to celebrate a milestone with a group, or travel solo and meet new friends.

The walks were moderate to challenging, the accomodation was very comfortable, the food was delicious (and lots of it) and the guides worked their magic ensuring our every need was accommodated." - Sarah Roe, guest June 2019.

07.01.2022 Many of you will be well aware of the allure of Peru because of the legendary Machu Picchu, but Peru is home to so many other spectacular sights that can go under the radar. From the Amazon jungle to the Andes mountains, Peru is one of the most fascinating countries in the world, with a rich and complex cultural history. It's also home to an exciting culinary scene. Lima boasts two restaurants in the top 10 of the World's 50 Best Restaurants. Experience this incredible destination for yourself in November! https://tinyurl.com/y9z4ovju A prophet once said ‘Don’t tell me what a man says, don’t tell me what a man knows. Tell me where he’s traveled?’ I wonder about that, do we get smarter, more enlightenment as we travel? Does travel bring wisdom? I think there is probably no better place to find out than Peru. - Anthony Bourdain

Stay safe and keep dreaming.

02.01.2022 Our Mongolian Odyssey tour is a truly unique experience. Witness the spectacle that is the Golden Eagle Festival and delve into the traditional culture of the Kazakh nomads. Why not join us on this adventure in September 2020! "The tour was absolutely fabulous. In fact I tell anyone who will listen that they must go to Mongolia. It really feels like the right time to visit, before Mongolia is discovered by more tourists." - Sandy Casey, guest October 2019 Learn more: https://tinyurl.com/yyktbaag
