Lonely Planet names Costa Rica as the most accessible travel destination in 2021

Costa Rica became the most accessible travel destination in 2021 according to Lonely Planet. Disability is not a barrier for tourists to relax and adventure in this country, LP experts say. A wide variety of experiences are accessible to the wheelchair traveler in Central America - luxurious rainforests, white sand beaches on the shores of the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean, surfing and ziplines.

And in the national parks of Carara and Poas Volcano there are universal routes that allow tourists with reduced mobility to see sloths, toucans and outlandish amphibians up close. Special travel companies deliver wheelchair travelers to waterfalls and jungles. The country pays great attention to the accessibility of beaches - they install ramps and wooden decks, as well as museums, markets and restaurants in the capital of San Jose.

Thus, concludes LP, Costa Rica can be called a paradise for tourists with disabilities.
