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: Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro?
I know a lot about Rio, I’ve never been there, but my feeling is that São Paulo is a little more prepared for wheelchair users considering its development.
Though it’s important to know that most cities in Brazil have lots of obstacles on sidewalks, that is under the responsibility of the property owner, that may prioritize the aesthetics rather than its accessibility (sometimes steps, slopes, grass or even a tree in the middle of the sidewalk).
In this video (English), Daniel explains how is to live in São Paulo as a wheelchair user. We can have an idea about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM2AvL0MKlY
Let me know if I can help with any further information! 🙂
