MACHU PICCHU & THE Inca Trail charity TREKs

When raising money for a good cause, the more your event stands out from the crowd, the better. With so many people, activities and worthy causes competing for attention in a crowded market, you really need to find something that is as spectacular and unusual. Few adventures fulfill these criteria better than an Inca Trail charity trek.

Inca Trails have gained certain notoriety due to their hardcore nature and the many amazing tales those who have completed such an expedition often share.

A Machu Picchu charity trek may only cover 26 miles, just a touch shorter than a marathon, but it includes some of the most breathtaking sights you could ever wish to see. You may think that 26 miles sounds short, but it’s your time spent trekking each day (up to 10-12 hours), the terrain (very steep) and the altitude (over 4,000m) that you need to focus on!

Your feet will take you through luscious forests punctuated by clouds, jaw-dropping mountain ranges and a sub-tropical jungle, all pockmarked by the incredible Inca ruins and tunnels. Unraveling the mystery of the ‘Lost City of the Inca’ is an experience that is sure to stay with you forever.

A Peru charity trek gives you thousands of kilometres to choose from in terms of routes. Most average around four days in length, and all are well worth the time. You need to prepare for a wide range of conditions while remembering to keep your load as light as possible. Fluids are a must to help battle altitude sickness and never be afraid to ask for a break - this is seriously hard work!

Walking an Inca trail for charity - it’s exhausting and exhilarating in equal measure.
