Is Belize Wheelchair-Friendly?
Improvements have been made in recent years, but Belize is generally not wheelchair-friendly.
There are few elevators and many steps. The typical terrain is uneven and rough. Barrier-free design and building are foreign concepts. Many bathrooms in the country are a challenge even for people with full mobility.
Generally, we discourage less-abled people from considering Belize if accessibility is a major concern…
For instance, there isn’t enough room for a wheelchair in public restrooms at the Belize International Airport. It’s a big deal for people in the United States who’re used to ADA-compliant buildings.
