- Warm ups and downs are vital as you will be stiff from all of the walking and these sessions will reduce stiffness! Breifings will inform you of the next days route and be a chance to ask any questions.
- You do need to train for walking and distance Don’t just need to walk but can use any exercise you enjoy to build up your fitness – swimming, cycling, sports. until you can walk comfortably for 8 hours per day over a minimum of 2 consecutive days

- ATD doctors carry a complete medical kit during the trek, but are not able to supply everyone with essentials such as painkillers. You are requested to bring a comprehensive First Aid kit for personal use during the event. If you are traveling with a friend, you may wish to share your first aid kit, but please ensure you bring a full weeks’ supply of painkillers, plasters (especially blister treatments) Imodium and other ‘essentials’ for both of you, just in case you both fall ill.
- Allow plenty of time. Check in all together as a group. This will make yourself known. Wear kit on flight in case baggage goes missing, walking boots etc
- Insurance & medical forms: Please stress medical forms must be returned asap – we have to send to doctor to check details Any pre-existing medical conditions must be declared to insurer – insurance may be invalidated if condition not declared. Must also declare conditions of close relatives on whom your travel may depend (e.g. ill husband, parents etc) – again, can invalidate insurance if not declared Supplies – note max says that it is a good idea if they want to take gifts to instead of lugging tings from the UK – take a couple of dollars and in Cusco it can be arranged to buy some colouring/exercise books. Kids have enough pens so books etc would be better or more original ideas. We try to discourage the giving of gifts in an unstructured manner, as this leads to local people viewing groups as source of presents. This can spoil the genuine nature of their welcome. The areas in which we will be trekking are by no means well off in any material sense and giving presents, such as pens and pencils, is very much welcomed, especially by local school children. The method that we would encourage you to adopt is to give gifts through each groups’ local guide. They will ensure that they are distributed to the local community in a manner sensitive to the local conditions, generally direct to a local schoolteacher or a responsible adult. Local staff tip & equipment kitty – no tipping of individuals please
- Inoculations – these are guidelines only, all participants should check with their doctor for latest advice
- No need to spend a lot on a backpack as you will not use your own
