This Chilean startup is making scuba diving and ziplining more accessible. More here:
SANTIAGO - A Chilean start-up has been launched to open up some of the world’s most iconic tourist attractions to disabled visitors.
The group crowd-funded a special wheelchair for their friend, Álvaro Silberstein, who was left quadriplegic following a car accident when he was 18. Since its inception last year, Wheel the World’s seven-man team has arranged trips for more 900 people, including to Chile’s driest desert, San Pedro de Atacama, scuba diving off Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean, ziplining in Costa Rica and a trek along the Inca Trail to Peru’s Machu Picchu.
Silberstein, the firm’s chief executive, said the Patagonian trip had made him realize that nothing was impossible.
