We’ve Created Some Buzz

“Imagine you’re on vacation in Nicaragua. You leave all devices in your room and spend the days surfing, shopping the craft markets, and feasting on shrimp tacos. Yet every morning, you wake up to photos from the day before. You catching a wave. You on the prow of a catamaran. The whirl of colors that is a Nicaraguan craft market. That’s the idea behind El Camino Travel.”
We are beyond humbled that El Camino Travel has been featured in several prominent international media outlets for our innovative style of travel that is pushing the norm in the industry. Click logos to read the corresponding article that highlights our trips.
As part of Mayorga’s mission to disconnect from social media, El Camino brings along a professional photographer for each of its trips, which she says helps travelers stay in the moment and create real connections. “The fact that they’re not on their phone all of the time allows them to just fully immerse themselves in that experience,” Mayorga says. “You can’t really build a connection with someone, especially if you don’t speak the same language, if there’s a phone screen between you and that person.”
“With a mindfulness for what you actually want to do—and how you actually want to remember it—Mayorga is disrupting the travel industry.”

El Camino began nearly seven years ago as a U.S.-based tour operator focusing on the criteria of women travelers. Its success has led to a partnership with Conde Nast Traveler’s Women Who Travel group, which tapped it to organize a series of small group trips to Colombia, Mexico, and Cuba. The demographic has a sweet spot among “elder millennials.”
