Tick of the Inca Trail from your bucket list on this mind-blowing trek to Machu Picchu
This adventure gives you the once-in-a-lifetime chance to immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the Incas, and explore the ruins of their sacred sites, nestled in stunning South American scenery.
Rated one of the ten best trekking trails in the word, the archaeology of the Inca Trail isn’t the only thing to get excited about.
The trek takes you deep into the misty mountains of Peru, alongside rivers in vast valleys and up through forests, bursting with an incredible range of flora. You’ll tackle an awesome diversity of terrains, from high desert plateau to tropical Andean rainforest.
Covering a phenomenal 43km, the climbs will push you to the peak and reward you with panoramas across lush green valleys and sprawling citadels.
You’ll discover colourful towns and craft markets, camp amidst mountain vistas and gain a tonne of insight into the amazing mix of cultures that make up Peru.
The literal highlight of your challenge lies at the finish line, as you watch the sun rise over the magnificent Machu Picchu, aka. Mother Earth.
Worried about fundraising?
Don’t be…the Inca Trail trek is an Open Challenge – this means you have the option to self fund your participation and there is no minimum fundraising requirement.
You are, of course, more than welcome to commit to a minimum sponsorship target instead and fundraise a minimum amount of £3,900 for Jo’s.
