Peru earthquake

A powerful earthquake has struck Peru’s southern coast, killing hundreds and injuring thousands.  The government has declared a state of emergency for the region.

The towns which took the full force of the earthquake in Peru include Ica, Pisco and Chincha.  These towns lie about 500km NW from where the team is due to begin their trek in under a month.

It’s times like these, with so much sadness and devastation that put into perspective our little jaunt.

If you are so inclined please help out by donating to the NGO of your choosing. Oxfam do good work.
