3. IGUASSU FALLS FOR WHEELCHAIRS

Sandy A, of Port St. Lucie, FL, reports that Brazil’s Igassu Falls was quite possible to view in her wheelchair but still a very challenging adventure, nevertheless. “There were walkways on both sides of the river,” she said, “but sometimes the ramps were so steep they gave my arms a real workout. Thankfully I had a sturdy companion along.” Janet recommends the Sheraton Hotel at Igassu Falls for good access and superb views.
