There are three ways of getting there: by the Inca Route (a route that can take hours or days, depending on the start point), by train, or, by helicopter.

The trip by train can take an average of four hours, and, it allows to appreciate a wonderful landscape.  Nevertheless, train wagons do not have "toilets" for disabled persons. The quickest and most comfortable alternative is to travel by helicopter.  You may do so from the International Velasco Astete Airport in Cuzco. We recommend to enter through the rear access ramp of the aircraft.
Both train and helicopter options are a complement in Aguas Calientes of the bus service that runs along the Hiram Bingham highway (name of the explorer who discovered the so called "lost city" in 1911). Buses do not have a special system to board wheelchairs.  Therefore, the person must be transported from the wheelchair to the vehicle seat.

Even though the Machu Picchu Historic Site cannot be modified as it is a World Heritage Site, a large extension of  the site can be seen with the assistance of a well-trained team of people.
Several ascending stone stairways can only access some areas of the archaeological site, and, the terraces (andenes) facilitate a good deal of the route, as they were built with the agricultural objectives peculiar to ancient Peruvians.
One of the most impressing areas you may visit with the assistance of trained personnel is the Templo de las Tres Ventanas that offers a panoramic view of the place.  Outside the archaeological site you will encounter the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, an hotel that offers restaurant and cafeteria services.

Huayna Picchu.- It is situated 2,667 meters above sea level and covers an extension of  2,000 m2. It was explored for the first time by the Yale University Expedition that found approximately one dozen settlements. Undoubtedly, the most important one was the one discovered by Hiram Bingham, who  baptized it as “The Great Cave”, and, later renamed as the “Temple of the Moon”. The ascent takes approximately two and a half-hours and  you may only do so before 13:00 h. It is necessary to register at the booth at the beginning of the route.

Mandor Waterfalls.- Thirty minutes away from Machu Picchu village we encounter a picturesque place in the middle of the valley at the foot of the Huaynapicchu mountain.  Walking across a route surrounded by flowers, fruit, birds, forests and the river we find the Mandor Waterfalls, a peaceful and beautiful spot.  The only access to the valley and the waterfalls is by walking 45 minutes following the train tracks.  As we get near the waterfalls, a large plant diversity can be observed that provides a special habitat to numerous endemic birds, such as the Cock-of-the-Rock;  the visit to the Mandor Waterfalls is an unforgettable experience, it is the expression of nature in the Ceja de Selva that surrounds the village of Machu Picchu.

Hot Springs.- Eight hundred meters away from the village of Aguas Calientes, and, 7 to 8 minutes from the Central Plaza you will encounter hot springs with medicinal properties.  Precisely, the origin of the name of this town is due to the sulphurous waters that flow from the rocky underground; it has adequate installations and constitutes one of the main natural resources for the practice of medicinal therapies with highly healing properties, anti-stress, relaxing, metabolism, high blood pressure, rheumatic illness therapies, toxin elimination, and, others.

The road starts at the village of Aguas Calientes across a steep path with stairways that border the hills. Due to the difficulty of the access, these hot springs are not accessible to persons with restricted physical mobility.  Nevertheless, those persons with minor disabilities can enjoy a comforting bath.  For your convenience, the Municipality of  Aguas Calientes has built special environments, such as dressing rooms, bathrooms, and, cafeteria.  Throughout the road, there are a series of pubs and restaurants where you can enjoy the hospitality of the local inhabitants and chat with visitors from all over the world.
