SUMMARY:Trek The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
DESCRIPTION:Walk one of the world’s greatest wonders and make every step matter for Cornwall Hospice!\nTake on the challenge of a lifetime\nImagine standing at one of the Seven Wonders of the World\, knowing that every step you’ve taken has helped bring comfort\, dignity and specialist end-of-life care to people across Cornwall. \nClimbing high into the Peruvian Andes\, this extraordinary route winds through lush cloud forest\, river valleys and high mountain passes – all scattered with fascinating Inca ruins and set against the breath taking backdrop of landscapes shaped by a civilisation that flourished here centuries ago. You’ll follow ancient Inca-paved paths and steps\, cresting the demanding Dead Woman’s Pass at 4\,200m before reaching the Sun Gate and that first magical glimpse of Machu Picchu – a moment that feels truly out of this world. \nIt’s demanding\, yes. But it’s also unforgettable – and every mile you walk will help to raise vital funds to support the patients and families who need Cornwall Hospice most. \nSign Up Now! \nWhy this trek matters\nEvery year\, Cornwall Hospice cares for hundreds of people living with life-limiting illness\, and supports the people who love them. That care – the nursing\, the compassion\, the quiet moments that mean so much – is only possible because of people like you. \nWhy join #TeamCH?\nTaking on an international challenge can feel daunting – but with Cornwall Hospice\, you’ll never feel alone in it. Here’s what you can expect when you join our team: \nA community behind you \nYou’ll be part of a warm\, welcoming group of fellow fundraisers who share your commitment to Cornwall Hospice. Whether you’ve done adventures like this before or this is your first big challenge\, there’s a place for you here. \nExpert support every step of the way \nThe trek itself is delivered by Discover Adventure\, a specialist events company with over 30 years of experience organising safe\, well-run international challenges. Their experienced leaders and on-the-ground team are with you throughout – so you’re in safe hands. \nFundraising guidance from our team \nOur friendly fundraising team at Cornwall Hospice is here to help you reach your target. From fundraising ideas and templated communications to personal support and cheerleading\, we’ll make it as easy as possible to raise money and celebrate your efforts. \nWhat about fundraising?\nWe know that committing to a fundraising target can feel a little overwhelming\, especially if you haven’t done it before. Please don’t let that put you off – most people are genuinely surprised by how much support they receive once they start sharing their story and why this cause matters to them. \nDiscover Adventure offer multiple ways to fundraise for your challenge trek\, so you can choose the option that works best for you. \nFundraising option: Pay a registration fee and commit to raising a minimum sponsorship amount. Half of that target covers your trip costs – flights\, accommodation\, guides and logistics – and the other half goes directly to Cornwall Hospice. Any funds you raise above the target come to us in full. \nPart-payment option: Pay a contribution towards your trip costs upfront\, which reduces your fundraising target. A good middle ground if you’d like to raise money for Cornwall Hospice but want a lower sponsorship goal to work towards. \nFull-payment option: Pay your own trip costs in full\, with no minimum fundraising target. Anything you raise will come directly to Cornwall Hospice. \nPricing Breakdown\nFull Payment: £499 registration fee + £2\,550 [8 weeks before departure]. \nPart Payment: £499 registration fee + £500 to Discover Adventure [10 weeks before departure]. £2\,800 of fundraising paid to Cornwall Hospice [10 weeks before departure]. \nFundraising Option: £499 registration fee + £5\,100 of fundraising paid to Cornwall Hospice [10 weeks before departure]. \nYou can find out more about Discover Adventure’s Challenge Pricing options here. \n\nHow we’ll support you\nFrom your first enquiry right through to your return home\, Cornwall Hospice and Discover Adventure will make sure you feel informed\, prepared and supported. \nBefore you go \nYou’ll receive full trip information and kit guidance\, and our team can help with: \n\nA welcome pack and personalised fundraising advice to get you started\nReady-to-use templates for emails and social posts\nRegular tips\, ideas and encouragement along the way\nHelp setting up your fundraising page\n\nDuring the trek \nDiscover Adventure’s experienced trek leaders will be with your group throughout the challenge\, managing safety\, logistics and the day-to-day experience so you can focus on the walk — and the view. \nWhen you’re back \nWe’d love to hear all about it. Many participants find that sharing their experience – at work\, on social media or at a local event – gives their fundraising a brilliant final boost. And of course\, we’ll be on hand to help you close your fundraising page and celebrate what you’ve achieved. \nQuestions? Get in touch with our Events & Challenges Partner\, Ellie\, on esmith@cornwallhospice.org or call 01726 66868 (3) to chat things through. \nReady to take on Machu Picchu?\nMachu Picchu has stood high in the Andes for over five centuries. Your challenge takes just a few days – but the impact will last far longer. \nWhen you trek for Cornwall Hospice\, you become part of something much bigger than the miles you walk. You join a community of people who believe that everyone deserves compassionate\, expert care at the end of life. And you help make sure that care is always there\, right here in Cornwall. \nSign Up Now! \n\nThe Inca trail to Machu Picchu is not one to be missed as the history and scenery are phenomenal.
