6 Health and Wellness Adventures around the World

Rest and relaxation can still be adventurous.

By: The Outbound Collective + Save to a List

It wasn’t long ago that wellness travel implied a long trip to the spa. However, the evolution of wellness travel to involve active adventure fits perfectly with our community here at The Outbound and with our friends at MT Sobek. Their active adventures have always promoted good health in the outdoors. So, it’s only a small step to add activities such as yoga and meditation to trips that involve cardio activities–such as hiking, kayaking, surfing, and paddle boarding. And, most importantly, these adventures are all under the expert leadership of qualified instructors.

From tropical eco-lodges to luxurious wellness resorts in the heart of Arizona's Sonoran Desert, MT Sobek's retreats enable a full digital detox, a return to mindfulness, and a chance to eat well with healthy meal options. They've also teamed up with health and wellness experts at Canyon Ranch for unique retreats in Baja and New Mexico. 

Check out some of the best health and wellness adventure that MT Sobek has to offer below!
