Jesus spent 40 days in the desert being tempted by the devil.
But of course, before this we are told that Jesus did bot commence his ministry until he was the age of 30. Luke mentions an incident at the age of 12 when Jesus astounded the temple priests with his knowledge of scripture even at that age. But between the age of 12 and 30 nothing is known except that he was recognised as a carpenter in his home town of Nazareth (presumably taking over Joseph's business). This for 18 years we know nothing of Jesus' life.
There have been many speculations about this. Did he go to India? Africa? or a host of other comspiracy theories. There is absolutely no evidence for any of them. All we know is that at around the age of 30 Jesus was baptised by his cousin John and, after spending time in the desert he realised his own mission and just who he was. He was to live just three more years on earth.
For us, this gives us great hope, for we too can realise our potential quite late in life. God has a plan for each one of us if we take up the invitation; but whatever it is it is in God's time it will happen and not our own. With Jesus, the plan was for his last three years to be a concentrated mission proclaiming the Kingdom of God.

The wilderness is not a specific place but just a large barren area.
