Disabled travellers
Unfortunately, there are very few facilities for disabled travellers in Bolivia. This is compounded by the particularly steep streets and narrow sidewalks of many highland cities. Santa Cruz, while it has no special facilities, may be a little more accessible just because of its level topography.
Two good wheelchair-accessible places to stay are:
Casa Kolping
in Sucre, which has wheelchair ramps although it is situated on top of a hill; and
Quinta Piray
in the delightful resort town of Samaipata.
Visually or hearing-impaired travellers are also poorly catered for but some travel companies outside South America specialize in holidays that are tailor-made for the individual's level of disability. For general information, consult the
