Sign up here for our Virtual Inca Trail, an iconic and historic 32km trekking route to the Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu.

Did you know? There are more mammal species listed as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List (539 species) than trekking permits allocated per day on the real-world Inca Trail in Peru (500 permits). A further 221 mammals are listed as Critically Endangered (CR).

By taking on our virtual Inca Trail you'll be helping to raise vital awareness about threats to many different species, as well as helping to raise funds to protect them. Your £21 registration fee covers the cost of the platform (£6) with the rest going to our 21 For 21 Project Fund. To find out more about the projects you'll be supporting click here.

You can sign-up for this challenge as an individual or team. There is no set date  - the challenge is available to be enjoyed throughout 2021 at a time and place of your choosing. You can run it, walk it, do it as one event or break it down over a few days or weeks.

You and your supporters can follow your progress on a real-time map as the distances you walk are tracked by the app Strava. You will be shown how to set this up when you register for the event.

As you pass important milestones and landmarks we will email you a progress update. 

If you raise more than £250 you will receive complimentary membership of the Explorers Against Extinction Explorer Club for a year, giving you exclusive updates on the 21 For 21 campaign, a free ticket to the Explorers Against Extinction annual event at the Royal Geographical Society, London in November and other benefits.
