THE TREK

Find yourself speechless as you reach the fabled ruins of Machu Picchu, nestled amongst lush forest, emerging from the mysterious mist that surrounds its peaks. Departing from the bustling colonial town of Cusco, hike through sacred mountain passes and jungle trails, camping under the stars and taking in the epic scenery along the way.

This is a multi-day trek through diverse ecosystems, led by experienced guides, climbing steep mountain passes with several hours of trekking each day as you follow the breathtaking Salkantay route to the Lost City. Tough, but truly rewarding, this challenge will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.

Our trips are inclusive of accommodation, meals, flights (on student trips only), transport and more, so all you need to do is focus on the challenge ahead!

I had an absolutely unbelievable time on the Machu Picchu trek, everyone was really friendly, including all the guides, chefs and the Choose a Challenge team. It was a great way to meet new people and raise money for charity.
