Additional Information

Be part of a thousand-year-old pilgrimage—the Camino de Santiago—across a landscape alive with legends. Our specially designed journey showcases the very best landscapes and villages along this famous trail—and we bring you all the way to Finisterre, mythical Kilometer 0 on the trail, to make the traditional barefoot walk on the beach, as pilgrims have done for centuries. En route we are welcomed in our carefully selected hotels, including two nights at the acclaimed Parador dos Reis Católicos in Santiago. Our expert Trip Leaders bring the history and heritage of the Camino alive with every step. Buen camino!

Days 1-2 Burgos / Léon / Astorga  Meeting in medieval Burgos, we join other pilgrims to hike the Camino de Santiago from Hornillos del Camino to the remote village of Hontanas. A journey across the sun-splashed plains of Castile brings us to the engaging city of Léon, and we explore its soaring Gothic cathedral before heading to the walled city of Astorga. 

Days 3-5 Cruz de Hierro / O Cebreiro / Portomarín  Entering beautiful Galicia, we enjoy interactions with fellow pilgrims as we hike to the Cruz de Hierro, the iron cross where for a thousand years, pilgrims have left a stone from home to make a wish (be sure to bring yours!). In mountaintop O Cebreiro, we visit a small church whose chalice is linked in legend with the Holy Grail. Some of the most spectacular stretches of the entire pilgrim trail are on our hike to the whitewashed village of Portomarín.

Days 6-9 Galician Countryside / Santiago de Compostela / Finisterre  Following trails through hamlets and farms flanked by ancient grain silos, we arrive in Santiago, where we explore the extraordinary limestone cathedral said to contain the remains of St. James and attend the noon mass with a jostling crowd of pilgrims from around the world. We complete our pilgrimage with a hike to Finisterre, following tradition by walking the last part of the trail barefoot along the beach. Depart on Day 9.

5 Epic Pilgrimage Walks Around the World

author image

See recent posts by Margot Bigg

While tourism as we know it today is a relatively new concept, travelers around the world have been undertaking walking pilgrimages for millennia. In fact, going on pilgrimage was the often the only opportunity people ever had to leave their native villages. Though pilgrimage walks have traditionally had religious or spiritual associations, the modern pilgrim need not adhere to any faith to find walking traditional pilgrim trails a rewarding way to test their perseverance and experience the planet. From the English countryside to the forests of Japan , here are five of the world's most epic pilgrimage walks.

1. Kumano Kodo in Japan

Photo Credit: Walk Japan

Actually a series of routes rather than a single trail, the UNESCO World Heritage Kumano Kodo refers to a collective of trails across the mountains of Japan ‘s Kii Peninsula, all of which end at Kumano, a sacred Shinto site that’s home to the Kumano Sanzan Shrines. It was in this mountainous region that priests once traveled to practice austerities in order to deepen their spiritual practices and acquire supernatural powers. Today, the pilgrimage attracts not only practitioners of Buddhism and Shinto, but also history buffs, nature lovers, photographers, and hiking enthusiasts. Local tour companies such as Walk Japan even offer guided trips starting in Osaka for those who want to undertake the pilgrimage but lack the linguistic or navigational knowledge to complete the walk solo.

Osaka Hotel Pick: The St. Regis Osaka

Rooms have sophisticated decor with delicate Japanese details, upscale bathrooms with soaking tubs, and expansive city views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Personal butlers make each stay a breeze, offering top-notch services such as packing and unpacking, free morning coffee delivery, and free clothes pressing. With wonderful on-site amenities ranging from an exclusive spa to two excellent European-inspired restaurants, and a central location near high-end shopping and attractions, it’s hard to go wrong with the St. Regis.

2. La Via Francigena in England, France, and Italy

Photo Credit: Wilderness Travel

One of the most popular pilgrimage routes in the Middle Ages, records show that the Via Francigena dates back to at least the 7th century C.E. The best-known account of the Canterbury to Rome trail was documented by Sigeric the Serious, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the late 10th century, and his records (actually of his return to England along the route) inspire modern pilgrims to this day. While it’s certainly not the most popular of ancient pilgrimage routes nowadays, the Via Francigena gets upwards of 1,000 visitors per year. However, most have to camp at least part of the time due to a lack of solid hotel and guesthouse options along the way. Those who prefer a more comfortable approach to the walk may want to consider joining a tour; Wilderness Travel offers a nine-day guided stint along the trail starting in Siena and ending in Rome.

Rome Hotel Pick: Fontana Hotel

The Hotel Fontana sits right next to the Trevi Fountain, and one of the city’s prettiest views is available from many vantages inside. A former monastery, this property has 25 rooms, though decor is basic and looking worn and tired in spots. Guests can choose between rooms facing the fountain, or one of the quieter rooms in the back of the building.

Pricing for Fontana Hotel

3. The Abraham Path in The Middle East

wilderness travel pilgrims way

The route starts in Winchester in the county of Hampshire , and cuts across southern England, ending in Canterbury at the Shrine of Thomas Becket, who was easily one of the most venerated saints in this part of the world during much of the Middle Ages. Modern mapping of the trail is relatively recent, and while there are archaeological signs that a trackway once existed in the area, nobody is really sure if there ever was a traditional Winchester to Canterbury pilgrimage route in the days of yore. Nevertheless, it’s a wonderful way to visit Southern England, and as the route passes through relatively populated towns, there’s plenty of infrastructure in place for easy solo walking. Most travelers follow the newly opened St Swithun’s Way from Winchester to the town of Farnham and then continue along the North Downs Way National Trail, which stretches from Farnham all the way to Canterbury and on to Dover .

Canterbury Hotel Pick: Canterbury Cathedral Lodge

With large rooms and numerous amenities all over this gorgeous scape and structure, Canterbury Cathedral Lodge is an easy pick when traveling to the area.

About Pilgrim’s Wilderness

Into the Wild  meets  Helter Skelter  in this riveting true story of a modern-day homesteading family in the deepest reaches of the Alaskan wilderness — and of the chilling secrets of its maniacal, spellbinding patriarch.   When Papa Pilgrim, his wife, and their fifteen children appeared in the Alaska frontier outpost of McCarthy, their new neighbors saw them as a shining example of the homespun Christian ideal. But behind the family’s proud piety and beautiful old-timey music lay Pilgrim’s dark past: his strange  connection to the Kennedy assassination and a trail of chaos and anguish that followed him from Dallas and New Mexico. Pilgrim soon sparked a tense confrontation with the National Park Service fiercely dividing the community over where a citizen’s rights end and the government’s power begins. As the battle grew more intense, the turmoil in his brood made it increasingly difficult to tell whether his children were messianic followers or hostages in desperate need of rescue.  In this powerful piece of Americana, written with uncommon grace and high drama, veteran Alaska journalist, Tom Kizzia uses his unparalleled access to capture an era-defining clash between environmentalists and pioneers ignited by a mesmerizing sociopath who held a town and a family captive.

Into the Wild  meets  Helter Skelter  in this riveting true story of a modern-day homesteading family in the deepest reaches of the Alaskan wilderness – and of the chilling secrets of its maniacal, spellbinding patriarch.   When Papa Pilgrim appeared in the Alaska frontier outpost of McCarthy with his wife and fifteen children in tow, his new neighbors had little idea of the trouble to come.  The Pilgrim Family presented themselves as a shining example of the homespun Christian ideal, with their proud piety and beautiful old-timey music, but their true story ran dark and deep.  Within weeks, Papa had bulldozed a road through the mountains to the new family home at an abandoned copper mine, sparking a tense confrontation with the National Park Service and forcing his ghost town neighbors to take sides in an ever-more volatile battle over where a citizen’s rights end and the government’s power begins.    In Pilgrim’s Wilderness , veteran Alaska journalist Tom Kizzia unfolds the remarkable, at times harrowing, story of a charismatic spinner of American myths who was not what he seemed, the townspeople caught in his thrall, and the family he brought to the brink of ruin.  As Kizzia discovered, Papa Pilgrim was in fact the son of a rich Texas family with ties to Hoover’s FBI and strange, oblique connections to the Kennedy assassination and the movie stars of Easy Rider .  And as his fight with the government in Alaska grew more intense, the turmoil in his brood made it increasingly difficult to tell whether his children were messianic followers or hostages in desperate need of rescue.  In this powerful piece of Americana, written with uncommon grace and high drama, Kizzia uses his unparalleled access to capture an era-defining clash between environmentalists and pioneers ignited by a mesmerizing sociopath who held a town and a family captive.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #5 on Amazon’s Best 100 Books of the Year A Mother Jones Best Book of the Year An Outside Best Adventure Book of the Year “Extraordinary…Mr. Kizzia has done an outstanding job unpacking Pilgrim’s story; the book is superbly researched, the writing clear and unflinching.” — Wall Street Journal “Pilgrim’s Wilderness is measured, painstakingly reported and gripping, giving us a true look at an escapist nightmare in America’s mythic and fading frontier.” — Los Angeles Times “Not since The Shining has family life off the grid seemed as terrifying as it does in Pilgrim’s Wilderness , by Tom Kizzia, but this time the chills come from nonfiction.” —Arts Beat,  New York Times “With even reporting and spare, lovely prose, Kizzia exposes the tyrannies of faith, and a family’s desperate unraveling. It will make your skin crawl.” — The Daily Beast “For those awaiting the next Jon Krakauer-esque classic, look to an Alaskan writer named Tom Kizzia… A gripping nonfiction thriller told with masterful clarity…I’m betting it will be the sleeper hit of the summer. Put it at the top of your stack.” — Outside Magazine “Reads like a bewitching, brilliant novel… Even in the hands of a mediocre writer, this story would be mesmerizing. But Kizzia’s gifts as a journalist and writer are such that it is a powerhouse of a book, destined to become a wilderness-tale classic like Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild . On one level, it’s a brilliant exploration of the kinds of frontier issues that most of America put away more than 100 years ago—rugged individualism vs. community cooperation and compromise, and wilderness harnessers vs. preservationists. But most and best of all, it is the story of how a pack of illiterate, brainwashed children came to realize that the man they looked up to as a god was actually a tyrant, and how they found the courage to break free. Here’s to them, and to Kizzia for telling their incredible story.” — Minneapolis Star Tribune “Kizzia is a smart, tough reporter who knows a good story when he sees one and doesn’t let go… [ Pilgrim’s Wilderness ] is a masterful book. One of its strengths is that by sticking to the story and not trying to do too much, it does just about everything. Another is the way Kizzia withholds information until the right moment, building suspense by staying with a linear narrative that gradually reveals the monster at the center.” — Portland Oregonian “Absorbing…The family’s brutal unraveling is a shocking tale readers won’t soon forget.”  — Seattle Times   “The central figure in this book crosses paths with an incredible constellation of the famous and notorious and becomes a sort of evil, Alaskan Forrest Gump…an irresistible page-turner.” — Dallas Morning News “The mixture of Texas weirdness with Alaska nativism provides for riveting reading…Kizzia expertly goes back and forth in time to reveal the details of Papa Pilgrim’s journey from would-be messiah to pariah.” — Austin American Statesman “As the Pilgrims go from activists championed by Sarah Palin to musicians beloved by Portland hipsters to a horrifying fall from grace, Kizzia’s clear-eyed depiction never wavers. His even-handed and, at times, sympathetic treatment of the Pilgrims makes the full reveal of Hale’s monstrous behavior that much more appalling—and the tale of redemption that ends the book that much more heart-wrenching.” — Metropulse “A riveting read.” — Texas Monthly “Sends readers on a roller-coaster ride that is as thrilling as it is shocking. Kizzia’s work is a testament to both the cruelty and resiliency of the human spirit, capturing the sort of life-and-death struggle that can only occur on the fringes of modern-day civilization.” — Publishers Weekly “Meticulously researched, Pilgrim’s Wilderness is an absorbing and substantive education on America’s Last Frontier encased in a blood-pumping, nightmarish family drama as brutal as the wilderness itself. Kizzia writes of Alaska with the affection and steadiness of a weathered travel guide—the kind who knows the best route in. And the best route out.” — Kirkus Reviews “Strong work of reportage… [Papa Pilgrim’s] intriguing past crumbles in comparison to his excruciating cruelty and to the inspiring grace and strength of his children.” — Booklist “The riveting story of a megalomaniacal sociopath who left a trail of woe from Texas to the Great White North, Pilgrim’s Wilderness lends credence to the maxim that the unadulterated truth, when conveyed with sufficient skill, is not only more illuminating than fiction, but also more entertaining. Tom Kizzia has written an uncommonly insightful book about post-frontier Alaska, an ambitious literary work disguised as a page-turner, very much in the tradition of Edward Hoagland’s Notes From the Century Before and John McPhee’s Coming into the Country .” — Jon Krakauer, author of Into the Wild and Under the Banner of Heaven “This is a riveting, mesmerizing story, stunning and eloquent all at the same time.  I simply couldn’t put it down.” —Ken Burns, filmmaker, The Civil War and The National Parks: America’s Best Idea “Tom Kizzia’s superb book is startling, unpredictable, haunting, clear-eyed, unrelenting, sad, and beautiful.   Pilgrim’s Wilderness , in other words, is like Alaska itself, a subject the author understands deeply and evokes with uncommon skill.”  —David Maraniss, author of When Pride Still Mattered and They Marched into Sunlight “What an epic story—sociopathy and crazy ideology hits the final frontier.  Jon Krakauer couldn’t have done it any better.” —Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth and Deep Economy “ Pilgrim’s Wilderness is a fine book, methodically narrating a tale of libertarianism gone haywire on a genuine frontier.” —Edward Hoagland, author of Children Are Diamonds “ Pilgrim’s Wilderness is a terrifying masterpiece, elegantly written, painstakingly researched, and impossible to put down.  Tom Kizzia has created a classic American Gothic, chilling, irresistible and wise.” —Blaine Harden, author of Escape from Camp 14 “Tom Kizzia’s Pilgrim’s Wilderness is a bizarre and twisted Alaska saga of mythic proportions. This nonfiction gem has ‘Hollywood hit’ written all over it. Once you start reading, you won’t be able to put it down.” —Douglas Brinkley, author of The Quiet World “There isn’t a bad sentence in Pilgrim’s Wilderness , not a dull page or sour note.  A masterpiece of reporting and storytelling.” —Zev Chafets, author of Cooperstown Confidential and A Match Made in Heaven “The bizarre and tragic true story that unfolds in the pages of this extraordinary book is like nothing else I have ever read.  Through prodigious research, blending compassion with investigative skill, Tom Kizzia has woven a mythic tale out of that most mythic of American landscapes – Alaska.” —David Roberts, author of Alone on the Ice “Tom Kizzia hasn’t just observed and written about Alaska for three-plus decades, he’s lived it.   Pilgrim’s Wilderness  is a story that needed to be told by the only man who could tell it.” —Tom Bodett, author of Williwaw! and The End of the Road “Alaska as a land of self-invention and frontier contradictions has never been better captured than in Pilgrim’s Wilderness .  Tom Kizzia, “Neighbor Tom” to the enigmatic figure at the center of this riveting story, combines an insider’s view with thorough and compassionate investigative reporting.  This fascinating, harrowing, ultimately redemptive, and beautifully written account is sure to become a classic.” —Nancy Lord, former Alaska Writer Laureate and author of Fish Camp, Beluga Days and Early Warming “In Pilgrim’s Wilderness Tom Kizzia uncovers the tragic confrontation between America’s frontier past and its settled future. ‘The Last Frontier’ is the hot bed and Alaskans probably the most divided and conflicted of all. Mix this with the attraction that frontiers have for the unstable, darker forces in the human personality and we get the startling case of Papa Pilgrim and his family, as well as a hell of a yarn.” — Carl Pope, former executive director of The Sierra Club and author of Strategic Ignorance “A stunning and downright scary tale by one of Alaska’s most knowledgeable journalists.  Tom Kizzia’s investigative talents and his love of America’s frontier state come through clearly in this true story that reads like a novel.” —James Risser, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting “Pilgrim’s Wilderness is not a book—it’s a powerful magnet, and once you begin you will not be able to pull yourself away. This spellbinding, shocking, and, yes, inspirational story of a family’s journey into the heart of darkness delivers the raw power and revelatory truth of a Scorcese film. Except better, because every word is true.” —Daniel Coyle,author of The Secret Race and The Talent Code .
