Acclimatisation phase
There are several short treks near La Paz and around Lake Titicaca which enable the team to acclimatise properly before commencing the main trekking phase. Alternatively, teams can complete a number of different acclimatisation treks around Arequipa.
Trekking phase
The trekking possibilities in Bolivia and Peru are unrivalled in South America. Teams may choose to complete a high altitude trek traversing great ranges or to walk along one of the old Inca Trails. They may decide to tackle a trek that starts off in the high Altiplano before dropping down into the fertile valleys of the Yungas. In Arequipa, teams can trek in the Colca Canyon, which is twice the depth of the Grand Canyo
Project phase
Teams have the opportunity to learn about the Andean way of life, experiencing local culture and customs first hand. Projects could include helping villages to construct or renovate community buildings or working in an orphange or a local village school. In Bolivia, teams could work in orphanages and street children centres in and around the capital La Paz.
Rest and relaxation
After a fairly exhausting itinerary there are a number of options for a period of rest and relaxation and a chance to see some of Bolivia’s more unusual sights. From Lake Titicaca, which is the highest navigable lake in the world, you can explore the Island of the Sun, which is where the Incas believe their empire originated. In the south, a tour of the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat, is an amazing and eerie experience.
