El Camino was founded and is led by Colombian-American industry veteran Katalina Mayorga alongside Justin Bridges, and evolved from a traditional small-group travel company into an experiential marketplace for women. The platform curates highly curated multi-day small-group trips to destinations like Morocco, Guatemala, Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia, Egypt, Bolivia, and Greece, with an average order value of $3,400. The company also offers an annual membership, the El Camino Clubhouse, at $99 per year for travel recommendations, curated guides, and a moderated community. Since launch El Camino has generated millions in revenue and reported 172% revenue growth from 2021 to 2022, driven in part by rising interest in solo female travel. The business is positioning itself to modernize the small-group travel sector and target the $360B tours and experiences market through technology and curated inventory expansion. Funds from the recent round will be used to accelerate marketplace technology development, expand inventory, and build brand awareness.
