What’s it all about?
     The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service and Jayes Travel invite you to embark on the adventure of a lifetime! Rated as one of the top five
     treks in the world, Machu Picchu is the site of an ancient Inca city, set high in the Andes of Peru. During this challenge, you will rediscover
     the Inca Empire with us, following an ancient trail through the magnificent Salkantay Valley to the legendary ruins of Machu Picchu, spend
     3 days volunteering for the Hatunsongo Project, improving the quality of life for children in Pomacanchi, build lasting bonds with your
     fellow trekkers while supporting the work of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service!

     Where will the funds raised go?
     The funds that you raise for the service will go directly to providing life-saving medical services to people in dire emergency situations.
     It costs approximately $5,000.00 per flight to retrieve and transport those patients with the most severe medical conditions; those who
     have been injured in accidents, transferred from hospital to hospital, lost at sea, stranded in remote rural locations or critically ill newborn
     babies that need to reach a specialist hospital immediately.
     Your money will assist people of all ages and walks of life.

     Will I have the opportunity to meet other trekkers
     before I go?
     Yes, we will arrange a meet and greet evening for everyone
     (locations permitting) prior to departure. We will also set
     up an online community Facebook group where everyone
     will be able to keep up to date with preparation activities,
     events and fundraising tips etc.

     Can I extend my stay?
     Yes! We understand that it’s a long way to go, so Jayes
     Travel will have several add-on packages for you to
     consider or you can choose to travel independently after
     the trek.
     NB: Additional travel arrangements are at your own cost.

     Do I need to have a certain level of fitness to
     complete this trek?
     The Inca Trail is considered a moderate hike. It’s not a
     technical hike but there are a lot of Inca staircases to walk
     up and down, and the altitude may affect some individuals.

     Is altitude sickness common? And how high is the
     Inca Trail?
     It is impossible to predict who will be affected by altitude.
     Your ability to adapt to high altitude is determined by your
     genetic makeup and has little to do with fitness or health.
     Most people will have no problem as long as they take the
     time to acclimatise properly.
     A full day spent in Cusco (3249m), taking it easy and
     drinking plenty of water, is usually enough for most people.
     The highest point you will reach while hiking the Inca Trail
     is 4200 meters. You will sleep at 3600 meters for one or
     two nights.
     This trek also allows for further acclimatisation in
     Hatunsongo for 3 days prior to the actual trek, where we
     will be taking part in a volunteer program.
