About Us
Welcome to our World

Our courses, workshops and conferences are designed to take you to the edge of knowledge and to the edge of adventure. We have events to cater for professionals working in the medical, dental, legal and education sectors . We can even design a program specifically tailored to meet the needs of your group.
Our Education
What we do
Our upcoming adventures combine high quality education in a fun and stimulating environment. Our courses are totally interactive and combine practical hands-on sessions with case discussions, evidence based reviews, networking opportunities and plenty of chances to ask questions. Come prepared to engage in vigorous debate on topics that are often linked to the environment we are travelling through.
Our History

We remain a small but dynamic organisation that aims to combine high quality education and training with a range of stimulating adventure based activities.

Our 10th Altitude & Expedition Medicine Workshop
INCA & SALCANTAY TRAILS
​
Our most popular high altitude trek
August 17-30, 2025
We will return to the Inca Trail for a 7th time - and now we know when. As passes on the Inca Trail are limited and sell out many months in advance we are allowing a reasonably long lead in time for this trip in order to maximise your chances of successful registration.
The Inca Trail runs between the Sacred Valley of the Urumbamba River and the abandoned city of Machu Picchu. It is one of the most famous treks in the world. Although only 45km in length it manages to traverse a stunning and diverse mix of terrain before culminating in Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas. Prior to reaching the Inca Trail we will traverse the Salcantay Trail taking you to a higher, more remote and truly spectacular part of the region.
​
We will also spend some additional time acclimatising in the Sacred Valley and wrap up in historic Cusco.
SKIING
NOZAWA ONSEN
