	The Inca Trail - don't delay! INCA PERMITS, NOW ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS, ARE SELLING FAST. A FEW AUTUMN PERMITS ARE STILL AVAILABLE Walks Worldwide's 15-day guided Beyond the Inca Trail trekking tour offers, as the title suggests, a little more that just the classic Inca Trail, visiting all the major Inca sites in the area and including the all important acclimatisation period in Cusco. Inca Trail permits are selling fast and only available on a first come first serve basis, so early booking for September and October is essential. The tour costs £2,095 p/p including scheduled flights, transfers, hotel and camping accommodation, most meals, porters and cooks on trek, entrance and trail fees plus expert guiding.
	The Camino de Santiago We still have a few spaces available on our popular guided Camino de Santiago on 6th June. Here we offer a unique way to enjoy walking along this famous pilgrimage route, with expert guides and full vehicular support.
	Les escargots, with chips and gravy anyone? Why not cash in on the ever-improving relationship between France and Britain this summer after Nicolas Sarkozy's state visit. Our portfolio of self-guided holidays in France take you south to the Pyrenees along the GR10, where you can choose to walk for one week or the full eight weeks, or in the northern foothills to follow In the Footsteps of the Cathars. Alternatively you may like to explore the Dordogne or the Auvergne regions.
	An Indian summer? With Tibet unfortunately off limits for a while, and Nepal in the midst of the rainy season, for those tied by travelling during our summer and itching to see some big peaks, how about joining one of our excellent tours to Ladakh this summer?
	Kenya Recent talks in Kenya have resulted in cooperation and shared power between President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga which means that Kenya is now back on the map in terms of a top travel destination for unsurpassed wildlife and great diving. To celebrate this Walks Worldwide is proud to launch two new itineraries to Kenya with this newsletter.
	Corsica Our popular supported trek along the famous GR20, probably the most famous of the European 'GR's' is already fully booked for our September departure, but we do have spaces still on the earlier on our 22 June and 27 July departures. Do please book soon if you are interested as flights to Corsica are limited. Alternatively. For those looking for a less demanding itinerary on this majestic isle, our self-guided Corsica In Style tour is available any Sunday up to the end of October.
