Charity Trek to Machu Picchu in Peru through the Lares Valley

Having the opportunity to interact with the local community was fantastic. It felt like we were helping to support them, as well as raising money for our Charities. The guides were so knowledgeable and passionate that it made the experience even more special.

This is the best and hardest thing I have ever done. I wanted to leave my 50's on a high, and I genuinely did that in Peru! A fantastic experience!

The absolute BEST DAY for me was reaching Machu Picchu via the Sun Gate along the Inca trail...that was outstanding and something I’ll never forget! Thanks for an unforgettable experience.
