Mexico is increasingly accessible to travelers with disabilities, noticeably in Mexico City and popular resort towns like Cancún and Cabo San Lucas. Northern cities closer to the US, such as Monterrey and Saltillo, also tend to be more wheelchair-friendly. Generally, the more you are willing to spend, the less difficult it is to find wheelchair-accessible facilities. Keep in mind, however, that most public and long-distance modes of transportation (e.g., buses) and most of the non-luxury hotels don’t accommodate wheelchairs. Though more archaeological sites are becoming wheelchair-accessible, many public bathrooms, ruins, parks, historic buildings, and museums are relatively inaccessible. Still, with some advance planning, an affordable Mexican vacation is possible. Those with disabilities should inform airlines and hotels when making reservations. Call ahead to restaurants, museums, and other facilities to find out if they are wheelchair-accessible. Guide dog owners should inquire as to Mexico’s quarantine policies.
