My story

 

Update!!!!

 

WE DID IT!!!!!!   The Inca Trail was harder than I had ever imagined, however, both my sister and I completed the trail including a 5km race on the last day in the dark!  The whole experience was amazing, and Machu Pichu was breathtaking, it really made all the blood, sweat and tears on the trail worth it.  Thank you to EVERYONE who has supported both myself and Emma and most importantly all of you who have supported rainforest concern by sponsoring me.  This page will remain active until November, so please remind all your friends and family they can still sponsor me and support such a worth while cause.  THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for Rainforest Concern.

About The Trek

My sister and I are going to walk the 43km long Inca Trail to the citadel of Machu Picchu located in the depth of the Cuzco jungle. The journey starts in the village of Qorihuayrachina, at kilometer 88 of the Cuzco - Quillabamba railway and takes four days of strenuous walking. The route includes a variety of altitudes, climates and ecosystems that range from the high Andean plain to the cloud forest. We will cross two high altitude passes and finish the hike with a magical entrance to Machu Picchu through the Gateway of the Sun.
