As summer rolls on, Disabled Travelers does likewise with our “Best Places to Retire Outside the U.S.” access guide inspired by a similar feature at CNBC. So far, we’ve been headed down the list and have visited Brazil and Argentina.
My impression? Good places to visit, and there are plenty of tour operators with disability-friendly services and itineraries who can help you do it. Best places to retire? Not so sure … but we’re big on optimism here at Disabled Travelers, and the adventure continues today.
Where next? Costa Rica — a tiny Central American republic and center of eco-tourism.

Welcome back to Disabled Travelers!
Last week, we checked out accessible travel in Argentina, marking a rare trip to the south for our beloved blog. This time around, we’ll be continuing our “Best Places to Retire Outside the U.S.” series, with a tour of wheelchair accessible accommodations and attractions in that perennial hot spot, Brazil.
Like Argentina, Brazil benefits from an accessible tour package provided by the top-notch disability travel specialists at Accessible Journeys, but I’m willing to bet that’s not all we can discover. Join us for the Brazil access guide, won’t you? [more]

Welcome back to Disabled Travelers!
A few weeks back we looked at CNBC’s list of best places to retire outside the U.S., and ever since, I’ve been itching to do an access guide on the top ten picks.
Although there are some European destinations, there are also areas throughout Central and South America, not usually known for the best in disability friendly accommodations.
But we’ve made so many discoveries in my time at Disabled Travelers I figured it couldn’t hurt to do some research …
So, we’re beginning our tour with beautiful Argentina! [more]
