Travelers with disabilities will find Brazil challenging. In fact, those who use a wheelchair to get around will find that very few places are accessible. In the large cities, a number (fortunately an increasing number) of hotels, restaurants, and attractions are making themselves accessible. The trick lies in getting to them. Many sidewalks are uneven, ramps are usually absent, and buses and taxis are not adapted to handle a wheelchair. A refreshing exception is the city of Curitiba, which boasts a fully accessible public transportation system. For some additional resources on traveling with a disability, contact the Society for Accessible Travel & Hospitality (SATH) (tel. 212/447-7284; fax 212/725-8253; www.sath.org). The website has an extensive list of travel tips as well as resources on specific travel destinations. Another great sources of information is Access-able, P.O. Box 1796, Wheat Ridge, CO 80034 (tel. 303/232-2979; www.access-able.com). Its website has links to country-specific resources such as accessible hotels, tour operators, and other useful information. Flying Wheels Travel (tel. 800/535-6790; www.flyingwheelstravel.com) offers escorted tours and cruises that emphasize sports and private tours in minivans with lifts.
