Experience the lost city of Machu Picchu.
Join The Shakespeare Hospice for the adventure of a lifetime on our Trek to Machu Picchu. This 9-day challenge takes you along the stunning and lesser-known Ancascocha Trail, covering over 50km through the spectacular Andes. Trek past snow-capped peaks, glacial rivers, and traditional Quechua villages as you make your way to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. With full support from expert local guides, porters, and cooks, you’ll experience the rich culture and natural beauty of Peru while raising vital funds for hospice care. No previous trekking experience is needed - just determination, a sense of adventure, and a willingness to make a difference. Sign up today and make your miles matter.
