Usage Note
Incamminare is most often used reflexively as incamminarsi (to set off, to head towards): si sono incamminati verso il villaggio. The compound tense uses essere in the reflexive form. The non-reflexive transitive use (to guide someone along a path) is more literary.
Examples
"Ci siamo incamminati verso la montagna."
Natural Translation
We set off towards the mountain.
Literal Translation
We-are set-out towards the mountain.
