VSO - Sharing Skills, Changing Lives
Machu Picchu Challenge, PeruExplore the Lost City on a unique trail.
15-26 August 2007
Peru is frequently referred to as the ‘land of the Incas’ and has some of the most spectacular and varied scenery in South America. Our trekking route is a well kept secret and takes us on a rarely used Inca highway through some of the most stunning scenery in the world. Starting in the heart of the Urubamba Valley as we follow in the footsteps of the Incas, passing snow capped mountains and glacial peaks.
We end the trek at the lost city of Machu Picchu; Peru’s most famous Inca ruin, which had been abandoned to the forest for over 500 years until it was re-discovered in 1911 by an American historian Hiram Bingham. The mystery and intrigue of this ancient city still remains.
This Machu Picchu trek should definitely be on your ‘to do before I die’ list! And why wait?!

"It was the most amazing thing I have ever done – from raising the money to trekking in the Andes and meeting amazing fantastic people. Can’t think of anything better. Just knowing the money raised will help fight poverty is all you need to know! Thanks VSO for an experience of a lifetime!"
