After testing all the aspect of the way by themselves, the Wheel of the World project team launched regular tours to the ancient city of Machu Picchu, adapted for travelers with access needs.
For example, a six-day trip costs $ 1,500. This includes a Downtown Cusco City Tour, visit of the ancient ruins around Cusco, Sacred Valley and Ollantaytambo visit and adapted bike tour, exploration of Machu Picchu and adaptive kayaking in Piuray Lake. A one-day tour to Machu Picchu costs $ 990.

The tourists can use specially designed seats - with two wheels and two handles made of lightweight aluminum and steel. These chairs resemble a wagon or a car for transportation of gravity. These will help travelers to overcome the most difficult parts of the mountain route.
