BCNA Pink Peru Challenge

Hi again girls

As I said above, in the first instance consult your doctor about your own health and fitness, but below is some information I have about the trek from Inspired Adventures which may be helpful.

"The trek itself is 4 days long and covers a relatively short distance in total - 44km. The longest distance covered in one day is 16km which would mean being on your feet for up to 6 hours (with regular breaks).

 The most challenging aspect of the trek is the altitude and the team will get up to 4200m. Altitude effects everyone differently and is not something you can train for in Australia, however the itinerary is built so that the team have time to acclimatise prior to the trek.

 The Inspired Adventures Tour Leader will be continually monitoring the group for altitude sickness and encouraging regular breaks. The team will travel at a slow pace and it's not a race, someone will always be at the front and someone will always be at the back! Porters also carry the main luggage and trekking crew set up the tents etc.

 We believe with adequate training that most people can take on this challenge - it is not set up for super fit marathon runners etc."

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me!
