"‘Wheelchair tour of Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Pichu by Amazing Peru’"
My wife and I just came back from an 8 day tour of Lima, Cuzco and Machu Pichu in May 2017. My wife is disabled and used a wheelchair for her mobility. We are both 76 years young. The private tour was put together and organised in detail by Jim Turner from Amazing Peru and we could not fault any aspect of it. It was superbly organised and from the moment we arrived in Lima, we were met and escorted by staff of Amazing Peru Travel (Christian Portuguez and Giancarlo). At every place, we were met and escorted by very friendly, considerate, helpful and enthusiastic staff (in Cusco and the Sacred Valley: Andy Salazar and Jose; at Machu Pichu: Jose and 2 other staff). We were impressed with the relaxed, kind and friendly attitude of the Peruvian people in general.
We were booked on the Hiram Bingham train to and from Cusco to Aquas Cilente (the only suitable train for wheelchairs where assistance for boarding is available) and from there by bus to the citadel. The Hiram Bingham train journey was marvelous and we were well looked after (drinks, entertainment, talks, lunch and dinner) during the 3 hour journey each way.
A knowledgeable guide and 2 other staff met us at the train in Aquas Cilente, and assisted my wife and carried her up and down the steps at Machu Pichu and we were able to see most of the citadel (see pictures attached). My wife commented ‘that not in her wildest dream did she expect to be able to wander through Machu Pichu.’ She would be content to stay at one place and soak up the ambience and sight of Machu Pichu, but the guides insisted to her ‘Madame, you came such a long way from Australia, we must try and get you to see as much as possible of the citadel’ Many thanks to Jim Turner and his wonderful staff for organising such a marvellous tour for us and we have no reservations in recommending Amazing Peru to friends and family.
We were booked in 5 star hotels with breakfast and in Cusco, and the rooms in the Marriott had oxygen and are pressurised to assist with overcoming altitude sickness which we experienced on the first day. Coca tea is available all day in the foyer.
