Fitness
Previous renovating experience or skills are not necessary. This project will involve manual labour and activity of up to eight hours per day. The itinerary is designed to be challenging but achievable for the average person, however it is important that you train and get fit in order to get the most out of your challenge and complete the work required as a team.
Accommodation
Two person tents while working on the project.
Weather
As with any destination it is impossible to predict the exact weather so you will need to be prepared for all eventualities. The Andes climate varies according to the altitude: the higher the altitude, the colder it gets. The average temperature is 15 degrees Celsius, so we advise all participants to ensure you have plenty of warm clothes. The likelihood of rain is also quite high so we also recommend taking waterproofs with you.
