MT Sobek Launches 2027 New Adventures to Iconic and Emerging Destinations

More than 20 new trips celebrate the company's roots in hiking and trekking while connecting travelers to local cultures

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Adventure travel pioneer MT Sobek launched more than 20 new tours for 2027 that build on the company's award-winning reputation in hiking and trekking along wild trails, storied paths and epic summits. The collection includes new destinations and trips that have a fresh take on classic destinations.

"The best adventures don't just take you somewhere, but they connect you to it. Our new collection highlights what makes MT Sobek so special," said Seth Heald, CEO of MT Sobek. "We're building on decades of Patagonia experience by offering new treks on classic bucket-list trails we pioneered on the Torres del Paine W and O circuits, as well as a first-of-its-kind expedition into Cochamó Valley's newly protected wilderness through our collaboration with the nonprofit Puelo Patagonia."

Every MT Sobek adventure is thoughtfully crafted for an ideal balance of discovery, activity, comfort and fun. Local guides lead small groups (typically 6 to 16 guests). Guides' personal relationships and regional knowledge result in spontaneous opportunities throughout a trip.

"Hiking and trekking are deeply rooted in our history. The new collection builds on our expertise while immersing travelers into culture and history," added Anne Wood, senior program director at MT Sobek. "For example, our new Guatemalan hiking tour blends hiking among volcanoes, lakes and rainforest with meaningful encounters with Maya communities. We expanded our Spain and Morocco collection with an immersive cultural trip from Granada to Fes that blends hiking and the exploration of local cuisines, art, and traditions. In Vietnam, guests can join explorer, author and MT Sobek cofounder Richard Bangs on an active adventure on bike, foot, boat, train, and vintage Vespa that explores the UNESCO-listed port of Hoi An, Hanoi, Sapa, Hoang Lien National Park and Ha Long Bay."
