Are you passionate about Sustainable Travel and looking for a way to train for your upcoming Camino in Dublin?
Look no further! We at Follow the Camino, a leading provider of organised Camino de Santiago Tours, are thrilled to announce a series of Training Walks in Dublin.
Also, these walks are not only a fantastic way to prepare for the Camino journey but also align perfectly with our deep commitment to Sustainability and Responsible Travel.
Sustainability at Heart: Leave No Trace
In line with our Sustainability Initiatives, these training walks embody the “Leave No Trace” principle. We are dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of our surroundings, ensuring that we minimize our environmental footprint.
Participants will be guided on how to respect nature, from the paths we tread to the sites we visit, making every step count towards a greener tomorrow.
Join the Movement: Training for a Cause
Beyond the physical preparation, these training walks carry a greater purpose. We are proud to announce that all proceeds from the walks will be donated to our charity partners. For the month of April, our charity partners are Pieta House! We’re supporting a new charity every month – find your cause and Join Us!
This means that while you’re getting ready for the Camino, you’re also making a significant contribution to a worthy cause. It’s an opportunity to connect with fellow pilgrims, share stories and support communities in need.
