Lincoln Minster School has announced an exciting 12-day expedition to Peru from July 7th to 20th, 2024.
Partnering with Adventure Lifesigns, a leading UK-based expedition company known for its successful global ventures, the school aims to explore Peruvian culture and achieve a world record.
The expedition will involve 26 pupils and three staff members and the team plans to visit local communities and engage in cultural exchanges, including football matches against local mixed-gender teams. The highlight of the trip will be an ambitious climb to the summit of Mount Chachani, where the group aims to set a new world record by playing the highest football match at an altitude of 6,000 meters.
This venture follows Lincoln Minster School's successful 2019 expedition to Nepal, where they set a Guinness World Record for the highest altitude hockey match at 5,019 meters.
The Peru expedition promises to be a challenging yet rewarding experience, blending cultural immersion with athletic achievement. The school community eagerly anticipates the team's success in this unique endeavour.
