WatchFollow in the footsteps of the Incas through the Peruvian Andes to the one of the most iconic sites in South America, whilst raising vital funds for NASS.
Machu Picchu is one of the most iconic sights in South America, and the culmination of our magnificent Inca Trail trek through the Peruvian Andes.
Trek this breathtakingly beautiful route through valleys and high passes, scattered with fascinating Inca ruins. Trekking on Inca-paved paths and steps, the route takes you up through lush cloudforest to the demanding Dead Woman’s Pass.
Continually climbing up or dropping down, the way is steep at times, and the altitude adds to the challenge. You will finally come to the Sun Gate, which overlooks Machu Picchu, where your first magical glimpse provides an unforgettable reward for your efforts.
Pay a registration fee of £499 today, then pay the remaining £2,200 to Discover Adventure approximately 8 weeks before departure. You can choose your fundraising target.

“I have come across people who are thriving, struggling, and somewhere in-between. I have been in all three camps since having been diagnosed. I know what it’s like to feel desperate, vulnerable, lost (and worse) because of this condition.”
