Handicap Accessibility while Traveling with Serendipty Adventures Costa Rica

Officially and legally Costa Rica has handicap access and access for seeing eye dogs, but in reality this vertical country does not really have adequate "American style" access. However, everyone is most willing to help whenever there is anyone wishing to enter a building or on a pathway in a wheel chair or using a walking assistant. Some hotels are very well adapted for wheelchair use, but others have only stairs and steep inclines at access points.

Whether you're wheelchair bound, blind, or have a torn ACL, Serendipity is committed to providing exhilirating adventures to people of all abilities. We design our trips around the abilities of all the members of a group so everyone can participate and everyone can expand their experiences. We design trips for persons with special needs (including older people who simply can't climb lots of stairs) using appropriate hotels and by selecting suitable activities. Our high guide to traveler ratio means you can rely on your Serendipity guides to get you through tough situations. If you do need any special help (or special diets or air conditioning or smoke-free rooms), please be sure we know this while we are designing your trip.

Our Serendipity guide, Alfonso, was spectacular! His planning and daily guiding and assistance could not have been better, He was expert in his knowledge of all the activities. He acquainted us with interesting and essential information about Costa Rica's geography, plant life, and all the various animals. Without overloading us, he provided a great deal of background on the Costa Rican culture and history, as well as that of the surrounding countries. Finally, he paced our activities very skillfully, so that there was a nice variety of different activities but not so much that it tired us out at anytime. We genuinely appreciate the job he did - it could not have been better! Pura Vida!

I was very pleased with our trip! Everything was meticulously planned and executed. The hotels were pleasant and the food was uniformly excellent throughout. All specialist guide were helpful and informative.
