The Inca Trail Challenge
Experience the journey of a lifetime and raise money for the Youth Cancer Trust, as you join the 2011 Challenge to Peru. After flying in to Lima, head up to Cusco, at the heart of the Sacred Valley, to spend 3 days working alongside the local community to make much-needed improvements for children at a local school. After acclimatising to the altitude, it is time for a challenging 4-day trek along the ancient trail of the Incas, culminating with a sunrise arrival at the mystical city of Machu Picchu.
Itinerary
DAY 1
Fly from London to Lima.
DAY 2
Fly to Cuzco and the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
DAYS 3 to 5
Spend three days assisting on a range of projects in a local community. This time is also beneficial in acclimatising your body to the altitude before embarking on the trek.
DAYS 6 to 9
Embark on a truly memorable trek along the Inca Trail. Although at times arduous, the combination of stunning scenery and Incan ruins compensates for any hardships encountered along the way! On the morning of Day 9 you arrive at the Sun Gate at dawn and watch as the sun rises to reveal the entire ruined city spread before you - a magnificent sight.
DAY 10
Another morning to explore Machu Picchu or take a wellearned dip in the thermal waters of Aguas Calientes before heading back to Cusco by train this afternoon.
DAY 11
Fly to Lima, spend the rest of the day exploring the city, and fly to London this evening.
