Group Description
Join conversations with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, sharing tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Brazil. From the Christ the Redeemer statue and Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro to the Amazon Rainforest, Iguaçu Falls, and the historic streets of Salvador, whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this is the place to ask about accommodations, getting around, or inclusive activities – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find first-hand reviews, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, nature, and outdoor experiences. This group supports mobility aid users, as well as travelers with autism, low vision, and hearing impairments, helping you enjoy a more accessible Brazil adventure.
Reply To: Lacerda’s Elevator accessibility
Yes, this is a quite famous touristic point in Salvador, Bahia.
It’s the first public urban elevator in the world, build in 1873.

The building seems accessible though. 🙂
