The Secret of the Incas

EXPEDITION TRACKING BAR

Thanks @KHalfP for composing all the tweets from the jungle and thanks to all our loyal followers for watching. News to come of our findings

@foamonthewaves Absolutely loads. Which is handy, given that we're going to be making a documentary! Lewis (cameraman) did an ace job :-)

@CB_Web_Design We couldn't possibly comment on that at this stage!

Back in Cusco, survived treacherous mountain roads after the jungle and now taking in some Peruvian culture before heading home #epicstories

@lgreenpd Thanks, Peter. Yes, hope to get into the adventurous side of things soon! Kind regards.

@Imfullofideas Come on Lou, you´re normally good for a random question or two! And did you try take it in your hand luggage? ;)

@manaiasmama Ian Gardiner knows a bit of Spanish. The rest of us are learning, but trying to get by on just "yes, no, thank you, please" etc

@manaiasmama We're pretty geared up for most eventualities, but have a final stop in Cusco to make sure we´ve got everything :)

@manaiasmama Yes, thankfully! Passports are all present and accounted for, as are our team members :p

@lgreenpd So far it´s been mostly airports and... well, more airports. And train stations. Total distance travelled so far is over 10k miles

@Orbitalearth Anything found will be official archaeological discoveries and we'll notify the appropriate authorities #findersfee? #legit :)

@nunkle I'd say that all the time we're looking for information on the Incas, the Mayans are getting a definite ignoring! But hopefully not!

If you want to ask us a question, now´s your chance. 10 mins of inet cafe time left... go! #becreative #peru

Hola! Por favor - cie? Yeah, still working on our Spanish. We've reached Lima Airport and using inet cafe. That's pretty much it for now! :)

Lewis at gatwick 'guarding' the luggage. Nice one http://t.co/7iZWU8Z

At Atlanta, tried to blog but airport wifi is wonky. Will update asap! Ken H

One final Tweet from Dundee: Pics and Vids will come in time, but whilst in the Jungle we're relying on all of you to RT for us! #teamspirit

Thanks to everyone who's followed us thus far, for all the replies, mails and retweets - the moment has finally arrived! #epicadventure #yay

Right so @traveldudes @hjortur @roniweiss - that's us off on our adventure. Sorry for missing 2x #ttot! http://t.co/xVO6g0M for our vid ;-)

61°F and cloudy. Brrrrr. Hope you've packed your vests :) http://t.co/PIyuWTL

@cophrasea Pass! Sorry but 'freezing' isn't something I think I can 'suggest' your way out of - tried using a hammer? #percussionengineering

@cophrasea That is a doozy. What kinda phone is it?

@cophrasea Which problem is that? We are fresh out of unsolved problems, maybe it's something we can help with?

@paulopaulie @Kirvay thanks for the feedback! Took a while to set up and a half-hour international call from my mobile, but hey. #dedication

Now... if I can just remember how to link Twitter to Facebook. #pushtheredbutton @khalfp

This page is reserved for people we’d like to give a special mention to. Everyone on here has helped us out in some way, so check these guys out and hear what we’ve got to say and show them some love!

Please see below for a PayPal donation button we’ve just added. We’re not asking for contributions, but friends and family have expressed an interest in supporting us by making a donation and now they can.

Anyone donating to our expedition will receive a mention on this page (unless you don’t want one!). Whether you’re supporting us via monetary contributions or other equally valuable means, we’d like to say thank you, and hopefully the end product justifies the effort!

See Gregory Deyermenjian’s account of his 2004 expedition to locate Paititi here: http://www.paititi.com – Gregory has offered endless tips and pointers about approaching the Amazon and has helped point out areas of potential interest and areas in which his searches have been less fruitful. NB. The guides we’re using for this trip were recommended to us by this gentleman.

You might also want to stop byJohn Blashford Snell’spage, as he searched for Paititi in 2001http://www.johnblashfordsnell.org.uk/ – also a big help and guiding hand to Ian – our Expedition Leader. Thanks, John!

A big thanks to Barry Sullivan who’s helping out in more ways than one. As the biggest 3rd-party contributor to the project, Barry helped cover the cost of our cameraman’s flights and has been an all-round good chap. We’ll link you to his photography business very soon!

Once we get back, we can start showing an appropriate level of gratitude to everyone who’s helped us thus far. Meanwhile, here’s a (non-exhaustive) list of people we’d like to mention, who we’ll build up over time:

Expect this list to grow as time progresses as we include everyone we want to, and then go into detail as to how they’ve helped and what makes them so important to us.
