Our charity challenge begins in the Inca Capital of Cusco – a fascinating city, full of colonial charm hidden deep in the Andes Mountains.
At an altitude of 3,300m, you will spend your first day acclimatising by taking a trek around the famous Inca sites surrounding Cusco – a great way to begin our trek for charity.
Then you’ll be off as a team to conquer the one and only Inca Trail to Machu Picchu – the world’s most important archaeological find and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World! There are literally thousands of Inca Trails within Peru and many other charity events sound similar, but there’s only one Inca Trail that leads through the majestic Sun Gate, and then onto the fascinating ruins of Machu Picchu. Exceptional support and companionship await – from the porters and chefs through to the medics and guides, you’ll be in great hands to assist you in reaching your goal!
This classic Inca Trail encompasses 3 high mountain passes – the highest being 4,200m. The trek will be tough and will certainly test you, but upon witnessing the sight of Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate, mirrored with breathtaking views across the Andes, your efforts are more than worthwhile. Standing proudly as part of Team CAAT!
PLEASE NOTE: ALL OPEN CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS WILL BE INVOICED £200 FOR A MANDATORY TREKKING PERMIT PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE. THIS IS ADDITION TO THE MINIMUM SPONSORSHIP OR CHALLENGE BALANCE.
