Trek Peru - The Machu Picchu Challenge
On the 8 - 17 May 2009 a group of budding explorers will be taking on their challenge of a life time. Your adventure will take you along the classic Inca Trail, deep into the jungles of Peru and over the Andes the largest mountain range on earth. While trekking, you will be immersed in the true culture of the Inca people as well as soaking up the sights of numerous mysterious ruins along the way.
Eventually you will reach Inti Punku also known as the "Sun Gate", where you will catch your first glimpse of the lost city above the clouds - Machu Picchu one of the new wonders of the world and the jewel in Peru’s crown. I reassure you this moment will be awesome and one you will remember forever!

Television vet Joe Inglis from “Vets in Practice” and “Blue Peter” will also be joining this exciting trek!!! Here’s what he has to say…
“Trekking across the Andes to Machu Picchu will be the experience of a lifetime! Not only because of the amazing scenery and physical challenge, but I will also be supporting The Blue Cross Britain’s pet charity.
As a vet, I am a passionate supporter of the work that The Blue Cross does in looking after and re-homing all kind of domestic animals and horses, so this trip will be particularly special to me, both as an adventurer and as an animal lover.”
