Adventure of the Month: Wheel the World Tours Opens Machu Picchu

Whoever thought Machu Picchu could be wheelchair accessible? Two longtime best friends from Chile, both avid adventurers, emigrated to the U.S. to study business at UC Berkeley did. Now they are making it their priority to help wheelchair travelers tour iconic Machu Picchu in Peru and other adventure destinations.
