Event Details
Are you ready for the challenge of a lifetime?
Join us as we journey to one of the new wonders of the world in an unforgettable trek to the heart of Inca civilisation, Machu Picchu, in support of LOROS Hospice.
This incredible experience follows the beautiful and lesser-travelled Ancascocha Trail, offering a more peaceful route through the Peruvian Andes. Over several memorable days, you’ll walk ancient Inca pathways, taking in snow-capped mountains, flowing rivers and remote Andean communities along the way.
The trek is carefully paced to help you adjust to the altitude, with experienced leaders and guides by your side every step of the way. Each day brings a new challenge and a growing sense of achievement, as you push yourself further than you thought possible while soaking up the landscapes, culture and shared moments that make the journey unforgettable.
After several days on the trail, the reward is extraordinary. Reaching the Sun Gate and catching your first glimpse of Machu Picchu is a powerful, emotional moment — one that stays with you long after the trek ends. It’s a true celebration of everything you’ve overcome, and a memory made even more meaningful by knowing your challenge is helping support LOROS.
This is more than just a trek. It’s a challenge that creates lifelong memories, a journey you’ll be proud of, and an experience you’ll carry with you forever.
