REI Adventures - Featured Trips for 2008

Ever wonder what it would be like to cycle some of the epic stages of the Tour de France? Interested in exploring far-off destinations like Turkey or Bhutan, but don’t know how to start planning?

We’d like to introduce you to REI Adventures (www.rei.com/adventures), a 100% carbon-neutral travel service that combines the love for outdoor recreation (hiking, cycling, rafting, kayaking, canoeing, backpacking, rock climbing) with some of the world’s most extraordinary travel destinations.

A branch of Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI),  REI Adventures trips take small groups of travelers off the beaten to immerse participants in the native food, customs and culture – avoiding standard tourist routes in favor of places not often found in guidebooks.

A short time ago a colleague, Courtney Coe, shared a 2008 Adventures catalog with you (if you haven't received we would be happy to send one your way).  Below we pulled aside some of the Featured Trips for 2008.  REI Adventures offers more than 100 trips- from close-to-home weekend getaways to three-week international trips.
