Who are we?
If you have come to read this page “about us”, it is because you are about to choose one of our trips and ask yourself a lot of questions about the organization :
- where and with whom to go?
- how to adapt your visit to your desired dates?
We know that the final choice of a company to organize a trip is above all a more intuitive trust for the organizers of the trip. We invite you to become part of our friendly family, where the desire to leave takes precedence over procrastination. Do not hesitate – write, call, ask your questions, we are always in touch. Look at our photos and videos, dream and choose the direction in which you want to travel by joining us!
Guillaume
My name is Guillaume and I am one of the founders and inspirers of IDTrek. As a geologist by
training and vocation, I have been able to appreciate my many trips, above all, through my naturalist
eyes. Now, in my turn, I want to take you to the most amazing sites on our planet, where nature and
geology have given us beautiful surprises.
I have a lot of experience as a guide in the mountains. It all started with my passion for nature and
geology which gave me the desire to organize group hikes in the Alps. This has allowed me to pass
on my love of hiking and nature to many people.
Each of our trips is the result of a great creative work by our team. By expanding the horizons of
geography, I invite you to join our community of travel enthusiasts and discover the incredible
corners of our planet during our guided tours.
Yulia
My name is Yulia, I am an economist by training and co-founder of IDTrek. I have always had an active lifestyle – hiking, cycling, yoga.
Before my meeting with Guillaume, the trip was a mix of tourist holidays and the sea without trekking over long distances with heavy backpacks. I never thought that multi-day mountain hikes could be so much fun and bring so many incredible emotions.
Guillaume opened me up to this wonderful world, another reality where I was able to learn a lot about myself, realize that I could surpass myself and be ready to carry out sports trips that I would never have imagined before! Yes, this meeting has fundamentally changed my life!
And now active multi-day trekking has become for me an integral part of my life, a new holiday style, a new passion and my love. And I would really like to share my emotions from visiting these beautiful places with you!
Mishka
I am Mishka, I am a kind of mascot of the team, I leave a house as soon as possible with my owners
and I will accompany you, bringing you a little animal tenderness that you so lack in everyday life.
I always take care of the group so that everyone gets to the camp safely and am always ready to hug
you if you get tired and give you a big kiss as a sign of support.
Once you join our team, you will certainly remember the trip, but you will never be able to forget
me, I will be one of your best memories.
Why International Dream Trek?
The concept of International Dream Trek was born while we were finishing a trek in the mountains of Turkey in 2019, accompanied by travelers from different countries around the world.
After and with each trek we completed, the project evolved, grew and this is how the IDTrek community appeared.
Today, IDTrek is a young Community bringing together people passionate about travel and a love of nature. The number of new interesting routes and destinations increases every year!
The goal of our community is to promote trips based on nature, adventure and culture!
We develop for you the best options for outdoor activities in the most interesting places of the world – from Eurasia to Latin America.
Who participates in our trips? Friends, couples, loners – all those who are active, enthusiastic and ready to share with others the curiosity to know the world.
Those who like long walks, who like to learn and meet new cultures and new people. Most of our customers have already visited many places, are used to active travel and want to discover fantastic new places.
Our main philosophical principle: it is important not only to choose WHERE to travel, but also HOW to travel.
And that defines our key differences :
Originality and route design by IDTrek
The project of each itinerary is the result of a long reflection on the idea of a trip, then of a careful analysis of the route, not only to observe nature, but also
learn about past cultures and to see the best of every geographic location on Earth.
We personally practice each route – climb mountains, descend to canyons, search for hidden valleys and weave through thickets of mysterious castles – all to develop and improve for you the most fascinating, balanced and unique route there either !
Our treks will allow you to discover not only famous and unique tourist sites, but
also unexplored places that are not in the typical travel agency itineraries. To do this, we call on the locals, because who better than them can teach us about it.
more about our routes, their cultures, and the most hidden places.
We try to create trips anywhere in the world we’d like to go, and are happy to invite anyone who wants to actively relax to come along.
Introduction to culture
In each trip, we immerse ourselves in the culture of the host country thanks to local guides who are in love with their country and nature. Trails away from tourist-strewn roads or just a charming little cafe on the slope of the mountain – all this can only be known to a local expert. These details allow us to turn the trip into an unforgettable experience.
Our trails are also high places of geology, and you will see the works of nature differently after having walked our treks, because you will learn a lot about how our planet acts to shape the landscapes that surround you.
Sport
For most treks, age is not a limit: participants of different ages can join the trip, and even teenagers, but some physical stamina is still required. We try to maintain a balance between physical activity and comfort so that you only have positive impressions of the route.
If in doubt, it is important to contact us to assess your skills, some treks are easier than others, and some require more physical fitness. We will direct you to the one that suits you best, so you can assess your skills and join us on other treks afterwards.
also often give the possibility of doing extra-trekking sports activities to enhance the trek such as: cannyoning, paragliding, abseiling, rafting… Make sure you have taken out sports insurance in order to be able to do these activities…
Maximum comfort
No matter how many kilometers is far from civilization, the place of travel, we organize life in the most comfortable way possible. Even in cases where the trip takes place in very difficult places and includes accommodation in tents, we try to provide maximum comfort. Accommodation for the night depends on the characteristics of the place of stay. In Europe, for example, we prefer to stay in small private and comfortable hotels and hostels, where you can see all the personal care of the owners for the guests. In Turkey – life is mainly organized around camping with hot showers and electricity or bungalows, even if sometimes it will fuadra without spending one or two night(s) in order to feel nature as fully as possible. In the Andes, each camp can be dismantled and is equipped with a large canteen tent, sanitary tents, large comfortable sleeping tents, camp furniture and lighting. Even here, we provide morning coffee ‘at breakfast’, and the chef never ceases to amaze with daily delicacies cooked the same day. In Kamchatka, where the weather is unpredictable and changes very quickly and often, we are accommodated in comfortable glampings or adapted tents. In the Caucasus, we will have access to removable camps as in the Andes, but with a tent to change and which serves as a bathroom tent as well as atypical and local hotels.
We try to make you feel the atmosphere of the country as much as possible without with optimal comfort.
Ecotourism
Ecotourism One of the priorities of our concept and our project is the development of ecological and fair tourism: hiking, visits to national parks and ancient villages, observation of flora and fauna, all this must be done with respect for local peoples and populations. Visiting the pristine corners of the earth, man has a deeper understanding of the beauty and fragility of the surrounding world, as well as the danger of the consequences of active economic activity and the need to form greater interaction harmonious with nature.
The rational use of natural resources, respect for the culture and customs of the local population, has a positive impact on the economy of the region by involving the local population (provision of transport services, supply of local products, service in hotels and on the road) but above all has a positive impact on the environment of these populations who guide us in respecting their land.
Safety, reliable partners and experienced tour operators
We and our local partners, who accompany us on these trips, always take care of every aspect of the trip.
From the prevention of the onset of altitude sickness (acclimatization period before the ascent) and protection against predators to the control of hygiene during cooking and food in the base camps. In almost all locations where there is no mobile cellular connectivity, the support team has satellite connectivity available as needed. English, French and Russian speaking guides are available on all routes.
In every region we go to, there are brilliant guides who will be dedicated to you, and with whom we are always honored to work.
