What is accessibility like for disabled travelers in Peru?
Peru's infrastructure for people with disabilities is improving but still subpar. The sidewalks are often uneven and lack ramps, and most hotels do not have accessible rooms (the bathrooms here are notoriously hard to enter in a wheelchair).
Peru Hotels
Peru is an extraordinary country, so it's no surprise that you'll be able to choose from extraordinary accommodations. The country offers you plenty of outdoor beauty and city glamour, but you haven't even discovered the best part yet... Peru is the home of internationally award winning cuisine — whether you find yourself enjoying rugged adventures or cosmopolitan excursions, there will be delicious food at every turn! Speaking of food, for a gastronomic adventure, you can eat your way through the capital city of Lima, Peru. Luxury hotels will make this an indulgent experience, but even if you find yourself in the country on business, you've got to eat! So, why not do it in some of the city's best restaurants. If you're looking for a cozy experience, stay at a bed and breakfast, and feel like you're dining with a host family in Urubamba — the middle of the Sacred Valley, or the Ica Valley — the perfect destination for wine lovers. What's a trip to Peru without spending plenty of time in the fresh air? A missed opportunity! Luckily, that won't be a problem when you stay in Augas Calientes, where you can enjoy thermal baths before you go to Machu Picchu. The Sacred Valley is as magical as it sounds, and you'll enjoy it even more when you're in an eco-lodge, communing with nature. For an extraordinary travel story, book yourself a jungle adventure at a remote resort — Tarapoto is near Peru's Amazon Basin. For every excursion, price point, and travel style you can think of, we have the solutions for you. This is Peru your way, and your ideal hotel is just the start of your adventures.
Aguas Calientes
Aguas Calientes is the closest town to Machu Picchu. Staying here for a night or two will give you intimate access to this incredible Inca site.
Cusco
Nestling in the dip of the Watanay River Valley, from above the city of Cusco takes the shape of a puma, which some historians theorize was a purposeful design. As the city expands, its borders creep up the sides of the surrounding mountains, but puma statues, fountains, and signs keep the big cat’s status of unofficial city mascot.
Iquitos
Iquitos is a city in Peru’s northeastern Amazon. It’s been on the tourism scene since the 1960s and has well-established services for travelers. You can also visit Iquitos year-round, which isn’t always possible in other parts of the Amazon.
Lima
The coastal city of Lima is diverse, with colorful parks, friendly locals, tasty cuisine, vibrant markets, and ancient historical attractions. Travelers can tour world-class museums, wander through the colonial architecture of Miraflores, and eat seafood along the Pacific coast.
Trujillo
Trujillo is a sunny and well-preserved city that boasts a large central plaza and beautiful colonial architecture. Its hidden chapels, inner gardens, and various plazas provide a great canvas for photographers and travelers interested in Peru’s colonial past.
