Spend nine days in Australia’s famed "Red Center," the arid semidesert region that is renowned for its unique physical and cultural landscape. Deep within Australia's Northern Territory is the home of the Anangu Aboriginal people, who for the past 60,000 years have carved out a symbiotic relationship with this humbling outback. Their spirit can be felt on this inspiring exploration through the heart of Australia. Spend four adventurous days trekking along one of the great walks of Australia, the Larapinta Trail. Hike over ridges and through otherworldly slot canyons in the expansive West MacDonnell Range. Cap each of these first four evenings at our deluxe tented camps, enjoying good conversation and delicious meals. We hike in Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park, and explore deep into the Valley of the Winds in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park to take in the views of rocks worn by eons of time that have morphed into fantastic shapes, spires and icy cold billabongs. Our journey in the heart of the Northern Territory concludes with a visit to Uluru, a massive sandstone monolith that rises from the desert floor. Enjoy Australian BBQ with new friends while we witness the rock's scarlet glow transform this legendary landscape.
