Costa Rica's accessibility
Our disability influencers weigh in on Costa Rica before and after their disability
Kerry Peterson travelled to Costa Rica pre-injury and travelled back post-injury. Her perspective sheds light on the accessibility of the country because she has experienced it in both ways. The part that might surprise you is that she was able to do almost everything she did the first time around, despite being in a wheelchair now.
"I was in Costa Rica six years ago when I was able to walk. Now here for the second time, we were able to do almost the same activities and I've been able to do absolutely everything before when I was able to walk, and now in a wheelchair. That is unmatchable to me." - Kerry Peterson
One of the other things she noticed is that most of the tourism buses have accessibility ramps or lifts for wheelchairs and most of the national parks have paved pathways for those with mobility issues.
