Charity events organisation Across the Divide has created a unique charity trekking route in Peru, which only they have permission to use, away from the hustle and bustle of the main Inca Trail.

Taking place 16-26 October, the route takes trekkers through hidden valleys, mountain passes, along long-forgotten Inca trails and through small villages where little has changed and they still follow traditional methods of farming.

The trek ends at Machu Picchu by passing through the Sun Gate to view this stunning sacred city.

This is an open challenge. Registration costs £350 and the minimum sponsorship is set at £3,300. Details: www.acrossthedivide.com
