Morocco: Sahara Sands, Markets, and a Feast for the Senses

Embark on a soul-stirring journey through Morocco in an adventure that is centered around connection, culture, and unforgettable experiences. Perfect for women with a moderate fitness level (expect to walk 3-5 miles daily, and on sometimes uneven terrain), this trip is designed to engage all senses. The traveler starts in Chefchaouen, the famous Blue City, where every alley feels like a piece of art. It is peaceful, photogenic, and the perfect place to slow down and soak in the atmosphere. In Fes, dive into the chaos and charm of the world’s oldest walled medina (medina means “city” in arabic and typically means the historical center of a North African city)–exploring lively markets, ancient tanneries, and meeting women artisans who are keeping traditional crafts alive. Then, travelers head into the Sahara Desert for an unforgettable, high-end camping experience. Ride camels through the golden dunes, enjoy music by the fire, and fall asleep under a sky full of stars in a beautifully furnished tent. The traveler wraps up the trip in Marrakech, where colors, spices, and energy of the medina will keep the senses buzzing. This trip entails visiting vibrant markets, meeting local makers, and unwinding in a traditional hammam. This is not just any type of trip–it is a celebration of the global community of women, culture, and adventure.

This is a 14-day trip that costs $7,345 and is led by AdventureWomen. All AdventureWomen trips are designed exclusively for and by women, aiming to empower women through travel.

Embark on an unforgettable journey to Baja California, Mexico, where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific lagoons offer a rare blend of wildlife, adventure, and serenity. This women-only trip is perfect for curious, active travelers with a moderate fitness level who crave meaningful experiences–whether it’s kayaking in calm turquoise waters, snorkeling with sea lions, or locking eyes with a gray whale and her calf in Magdalena Bay.

This trip offers both soft adventure and quiet moments, ideal for those seeking connection–with nature, with a like-minded group of women, and with themselves. From whale-watching to cultural encounters, every experience is crafted for reflection, joy, and awe.

Hike the Camino in Spain

Embark on a transformative journey with AdventureWomen to hike the final 71.5 miles of the Portuguese Way on Spain’s famed Camino de Santiago. This women-only adventure begins in the historic town of Tui in Galicia, Spain, and leads the traveler through rolling countryside, charming medieval villages, and vibrant towns such as Pontevedra and Padron. Pontevedra, brimming with old-town vibes, sustainable lifestyles, and extremely high walkability, is also home to the Church of the Pilgrim Virgin, uniquely shaped like a seashell. Padrón, known for its scenic riverside location, is native to Padrón peppers, small edible green peppers that are mostly mild, but occasionally give the recipient’s tongue a spicy palette. Legend also has it that the city is connected to St. James, as the body of James was brought by boat from Jerusalem. Along the way, explore ancient roads, centuries-old churches, and local traditions while enjoying regional cuisines and the camaraderie of fellow travelers. Designed for active women, this trip requires good physical fitness, with daily hikes of 10-15 miles over varied terrain, including forest paths and cobbled streets. Luggage is transferred each day, so the full experience of the trail can be felt with just a daypack. Stay in welcoming country inns and guesthouses that offer comfort and authentic Galician hospitality. Highlights include soaking in the thermal waters of Caldas de Reis, sampling fresh seafood and Albarino wine, and earning your official Compostela certificate upon arrival in Santiago de Compostela. The certificate, or “pilgrim passport,” written all in Latin, is obtained once the traveler walks the distance to Santiago and collects stamps for it–at least two a day, and then at the end, once presented to the Pilgrim’s Office, the certificate is obtained. With expert local guides, cultural immersion, and AdventureWomen’s signature spirit of connection and empowerment, this journey is more than a hike–it’s a meaningful pilgrimage of discovery, both outward and inward. Step into history, friendship, and personal growth on the Camino de Santiago. 

This 9-day trip is $7,195 per person. The trip is led by AdventureWomen, a women-owned and women-run travel company founded in 1982 by Susan Eckert to create empowering adventure trips exclusively for women. In 2016, the company was passed on to Judi Wineland and her daughters, Erica and Nicole, who today continue the mission of inspiring women through travel and adventure. Today they offer life-changing trips to 60+ countries.
