YES! This challenge is suitable for anyone over the age of 17 years. Most people sign up as individuals and one thing we have in common, is the sense for adventure and the desire to help sense.

This event has been designed to be challenging, but achievable so long as you train in advance. You do not need to be a professional athlete! Trekking training tips can be found in the downloads section to point you in the right direction.

Our accommodation will be a mixture of hotels and native houses (Pousadas)
