In
March of 2014, twelve participants hiked the challenging Inca Trail
to Machu Picchu in Peru to promote Compassion Canada's child sponsorship
program.
Each
participant sponsored a child in Peru or donated funds towards one of the Peruvian Compassion projects.
We
had the amazing opportunity to visit two Compassion projects in Peru
and meet the children we're personally sponsoring!
Visit
the Compassion Canada website dedicated to this project and see some of
the Peruvian children still waiting to be sponsored.
You
can sponsor a Peruvian child for as little as $41.00 per month.
In
order to acclimatize to the high altitude of the Inca Trail (up to almost
14,000 feet above sea level), we visited some other high altitude
areas of Peru. 
The
Inca Trail is in central Peru, not far from the city of Cuzco. 
We
climbed and descending many Inca steps during our challenging
four day hike.
One
of the highlights along the Inca Trail before we got to Machu Picchu.
Since
the altitude is so high, we appreciated our porters carrying most
of our supplies.
In March, 2014, twelve participants hiked the challenging Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Peru.
Our purpose was to promote Compassion Canada's child sponsorship program and we had the amazing opportunity to visit the children we are sponsoring!
