Laura & Julio, Founders of Take a Hike

Built by hikers, for hikers

We know the struggle because we've lived it. The endless research, scattered information, and frustration of planning long-distance hikes. We built a Hike Planner to fix that!

Laura's the type who examines maps for fun. Who genuinely enjoys figuring out the perfect stage breakdown. After over 10 years tackling long-distance trails solo through the Alps, Pyrenees, and Patagonia, she knew exactly what was missing from the market. Julio, an outdoor enthusiast with over 15 years building websites and web apps, had the technical expertise to turn Laura's planning obsession into something useful for others.

The result? One interactive map with everything you need to plan your long-distance hike.

Built by hikers who get it. For hikers who deserve better.
