In September 2006, a courageous Webb-Waring 30,000-Foot Challenge team will begin their adventure at 11,148 feet above sea level, in Cuzco, the capital of the Inca Empire. The 30-Foot Challenge team will retrace the footsteps of the ancient Inca couriers, called "chasquis", to bring a message of awareness and hope for overcoming the health challenges afflicting humanity. Our adventurers will embark on a 10-day expedition on bikes and by foot. They will ride mountain bikes through the Sacred Valley of the Incas and trek on Inca trails along the rugged Andean Cordillera to finish at the summit of the sacred Mountain of Huayna Picchu.

A Companion trip will also be offered for those who would like to participate in the adventure, without the "challenge" aspect. Companion participants will explore Peru's fascinating Inca history and rich culture. The group will visit Inca ruins, picturesque villages, a cloud forest, and incredible local artisans (among other incredible places!) Click here to see the full Companion trip Itinerary.

Both Challenge and Companion trips will benefit the innovative medical research being conducted at The Webb-Waring Institute for Cancer, Aging and Antioxidant Research. Both trips are one-of-a-kind adventures and not to be missed! To register for the 30,000-Foot Challenge or Companion trip, click here!
