You don't need to be an athlete! We are looking for young people with energy, a drive to improve themselves and a positive attitude. During the expedition we'll be doing activities that are adapted so that any 16 or 17-year-old with healthy habits and a willingness to give it their all can enjoy them to the full.

It is the best part of the experience! You will go from knowing no one to building a lifelong family. You are never alone: the team of monitors, guides and coordinators accompanies you 24 hours a day to guarantee maximum security and make you feel at home. Do you want to know more?

It's a balance. Academic commitment, as demonstrated by your school record from the Community of Madrid, is valued, but Project Xplora is the very heart of your candidacy. A creative, original and well-reasoned project could be the ultimate key to standing out and securing one of the 20 places.

That is not going to happen! The Xplora Community It has the active commitment of the first generation of Xplorers who travelled to Egypt. They are looking forward to giving you a hand and mentoring the new applicants. Furthermore, any questions you ask will be completely anonymous.

Of course! Families' peace of mind is our highest priority. You have at your disposal the our contact form and ours social media. Once the 20 Xplorers have been selected, we will hold face-to-face and online briefing meetings with the families to detail the itinerary, medical logistics, insurance and answer any concerns before departure.
