Highlights for the Handicapped
Actually, all our destinations are available for tourists with any different need, but we’d like to single out some of the top experiences they can enjoy here in the Cusco region:
1.Going around Cusco City downtown: it’s a lovely part of the city, with many typical products stores, excellent restaurants and bars, people from all over the world, a wonderful blend of Inca and Spanish architecture. It peaks at the Plaza de Armas, Cusco’s Main Square, with beautiful views of the mountains, its big churches and relaxing, cosmopolitan environment. You can enjoy a whole day in this town or do the amazing City Tour!
2. The Sacsayhuaman fortress: just outside north of Cusco City, stand the cyclopean stone walls built by the Incas. This archaeological site is fully accessible, quite calm and energetic.
3. Machu Picchu: of course, the wonderful lost sanctuary of the Incas! There are special itineraries for those with walking disability. Never mind it is on a hilltop, people on wheelchair get up there comfortably and completely safe. Visitors that cannot see will be taken up and around by experienced, specialized guides. Why don’t you check our fantastic Machu Picchu 2-Day Tour?
