“My Camino experience, led by the ever joyous and exuberant Darene Puttergill and Sylvie Chouinard – the kindest souls you’ll ever meet – who made sure our journey was well taken care of. I will never forget our “Camino family” and I am so glad I chose to join you this year!”

Sue Bolton East London, South Africa

“I walked my Camino with Darene and Sylvie’s group in July 2022. It was a profound experience. It was the first time travelling alone for me and leaving my family for 2 weeks, so I was very nervous. However, from the moment I left the airport I experienced so many Camino miracles. The goodness, love, kindness and support of the group and others. There is so much to write about from the wonderful unique accommodations to the spiritual experiences, hand on heart this was truly a life changing experience for me. I feel I have met friends for life.”

Joanne Cunningham, UK

I highly recommend these with Darene and Sylvie…a perfect balance of organization and care with blended with skill and expertise in guiding you as a pilgrim through this amazing adventure that will last your lifetime.”

“Thank you Darene and Sylvie for the incredible opportunity to be part of this experience and group of amazing women. The organisation and planning of all aspects of the journey were truly remarkable. Your knowledge of the Camino, your guidance, support, insights and genuine care contributed enormously towards making this deeply transformative with many special memories to cherish. I was profoundly impacted by the entire experience and look forward to the next one!”

Annette Dos Santos, Portugal

“Have you ever been intrigued with doing a Camino? If so, run, don’t walk to sign up for Darene Puttergill’s Camino. Her comprehensive planning from what to bring, how to train (do not neglect this step) to the stellar accommodations, outings & experiences all arranged, provide you with a magnificent experience. You feel safe and supported by the others who go on the Camino with her. They become your tribe and you learn from them, share with them, laugh and become part of something bigger as you explore the pathways of both your heart and the Camino. Buen Camino!!”
