Question ID: 484966
I need to find out if there´s any travel agency or any organization of
such type specialized in helping disabled people who want to visit
Costa Rica for recreational purposes. The answer should take into
account the following details if such service is actually available:

 The agencies selected should provide accommodations that meet the
necessities required by most handicapped people, immediate medical
assist if needed, special transportation (cars to accommodate
wheelchairs or other devices), special tours, specially trained
guides, etc.

 My main interest is to determine how feasible it is for a handicapped
individual to travel to Costa Rica for vacations.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

Hello - I am not a researcher, but this site might be of interest to
you.  It's an organization local to my area, that has gained
international recognition in working with these issues.  I normally
don't provide links since this is work for the researchers, but
perhaps they have other information.  Best of luck to you.  My guess
is that you will have a great time on the trip that does meet your
needs.

The tourist infrastructure in Costa Rica is fairly developed. Manual
Antonio National Park, for example, has a paved path for wheel chairs.
Mariah Costa Rica Tours should be able to hook you up with an
itinerary that is accessible for a disabled person. I used Mariah last
year and was impressed with hotels, drivers, and guides that this
outfitter provided.
