Thousands of pounds have been raised for out-of-work Peruvian porters and their families, whose livelihoods have been hit by the Covid downturn.

£17,000 was raised, enough to pay for 680 essential food parcels

The Lata Foundation’s #Peru25for25 campaign challenged supporters to take on a 25-mile challenge, covering the length of the Inca Trail – a popular route for tourists keen to follow in the footsteps of the Incas and visit the country’s historic landmarks – such as Machu Picchu.


Many tourists visiting Peru are reliant on the support of its guides and porters, who help thousands of travellers explore the country every year.
