TRAVEL CONSIDERATIONS / ATTITUDE / ALTITUDE
A can-do attitude and good respiratory health are required for this
adventure. Many travelers with disabilities have participated in this
tour in the past and this is not a first time trial for this journey however,
a few words of caution are necessary.
Peru is on its way towards accessibility despite the scarcity of their
resources, and the tremendous challenges related to its infrastructure.
Peruvians have made a firm decision to open our country to people with
disabilities and our local host has made huge efforts to provide the
best service to people with disabilities.
Nonetheless, this is a rigorous trip and all participants must be flexible
and willing to accept situations where access in Peru remains limited.
For this reason, only passengers with manual wheelchairs can be accepted
(scooters, carts and electric wheelchairs can not be accommodated).
Altitude sickness is a common malady of travelers to Cuzco, Machu Picchu,
and the Sacred Valley who do not adjust to the high altitude. The effects
are different in every person and include headaches, nausea, loss of
appetite, breathlessness, sleep problems and palpitations. Portable
oxygen containers are sometimes available in some hotels, pharmacies
and hospitals. Participants should consult their physician before joining
this adventure.
