Torres del Paine in a Wheelchair

At the age of 18, Álvaro Silberstein had a tragic accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down.

But his passion for the outdoors never died and years later, he made history while doing Patagonia’s most famous trek (the W Trek in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile) in a wheelchair.

While founding the Wheel the World project and partnering with local tourism organizations, he started a real revolution of inclusive tourism in South America.
