Story

Alzheimer’s Research UK take on their first ever overseas challenge to Guatemala in April 2018. Guatemala is considered Central America’s most diverse country, offering landscapes and experiences that have been enticing travellers for centuries. Be warned- the Guatemala Volcano Trek challenge is not for the faint hearted – summiting five active volcanoes in seven days including Tajumulco – the highest peak in Central America at an incredible 4,220m. By taking the road less travelled, you will be rewarded with striking views and a chance to discover the magic and mystery of the Mayan culture. 

Alzheimer’s Research UK firmly believes in the power of research to create a world free from the fear, harm and heartbreak of dementia.  We fund pioneering research that will make a real difference to people’s lives – now and in the future. Without our participants taking on this challenge, there would be no Alzheimer’s Research UK. Together, we really do have the power to defeat dementia.

About the charity

Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity. We’re striving for a cure, by revolutionising the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia.
