Hi, I'm Ben - founder of Tierra Trekking Co.

I started Tierra Trekking Co. after years of long-distance walking — not just on the Camino, but in some of the most spectacular and demanding landscapes in the world. I’ve hiked across the Andes, the Pyrenees, the Rockies, the Caucasus in Georgia, and remote trails in the Middle East. These walks weren’t bucket-list ticks or fitness challenges — they were slow journeys that gave me time to think, connect, and explore places on foot, at human pace.

​

Over time, the Camino became a place I kept returning to. I’ve walked several routes — the Francés, Portugués, del Norte, and Finisterre — and spent extended periods in Spain and Portugal along the way. During that time, I got to know the towns, the people running the accommodation, and how things work on the ground. That experience gave me a clear understanding of the Camino — not just the paths, but the day-to-day reality of walking them.

​

Tierra Trekking Co. is built on that experience. I know what it’s like to arrive tired after a long day, to crave a comfortable bed, or to need help when plans shift. When you book with me, you're dealing with someone who’s tested every detail — someone who’s been through the blisters, the missteps, the unexpected magic.  I walk the routes, build real partnerships, and handle each trip as if I were planning it for a friend.

​

This isn’t just a business. It’s a way of bringing together years of walking, learning, and connecting — to create something that feels personal, reliable, and deeply grounded. If you’re thinking about walking the Camino, I’d love to help you do it well.
