Trek to Machu Picchu
Your first taste of the Inca world will be in and around the city of Cusco, the ancient Inca capital. After acclimatising to the high altitude by visiting local Inca ruins and Spanish Colonial churches, you will head towards the remote and rarely visited Lares Valley. As you walk through these endless stunning valleys you will meet Andean farmers dressed in their traditional brightly coloured ponchos tending herds of Llamas and Alpacas.
Great Wall Discovery
The Great Wall of China was originally constructed to keep out nomadic tribes who raided China's Northern frontier. Your trekking challenge starts in Jinshanling with an upward climb requiring you to mount thousands of steps that loop along the mountains either side of the Gubeikou Gateway. Each day you will trek approximately 12km along the stony path, twisting and winding its way along the mountains, interspersed with crumbling watchtowers.
Sahara Desert Trek
Uncover the epic views and fascinating communities of the Sahara Desert, which lie hidden from the curious gaze of Moroccan tourism. Your challenge takes you beyond the Jebel Saghro region, a forbidding landscape punctuated by stark peaks, formidable gorges and bright oases. Situated south of the Atlas and Dades Gorge, the region was originally volcanic and the last defence before the Sahara.
Icelandic Lava Trek
Iceland hosts some of Europe's greatest wilderness areas, which are home to active volcanoes, sheer cliffs, glaciers, thundering waterfalls, steaming lava fields, plunging fjords, boiling mud pools and spouting geysers! This is the stunning terrain that your 'long weekend' expedition will cross.
