Many of the 5 stars hotels in Mar del Plata, are apt to receive people with different capacities allowing them to rest and enjoy all the services that offer in their facilities.
But, what happens with the rest of the destinies?
For somebody in wheelchair, the footbridges to see the "Perito Moreno" glacier, in Calafate, are inaccessible; but the same person can enjoy the footbridges in the cataracts of the Iguazú”. Cataracts are one of the best examples when places without architectonic barriers look for. The footbridges, the baths and the buildings are adapted for people with reduced mobility. There are inclines, banister rails and protective grates. In Iguazú there are hotels with rooms adapted for wheelchairs. The train that crosses the park, is accessible in wheelchair and it stop in several observing points, allowing to enjoy the beautiful landscape.
Besides the named ones, other cities with comforts for disabled people exist. Cordoba, Bariloche, San Martin of the Andes, Ushuaia and Catamarca are one of the most recomendable destinies.
In Bariloche and San Martin of the Andes, equipment of ski for handicapped people can be rented as well as they can receive lessons of ski by instructors especially prepared for the task, with equipment adapted for different incapacities.
Some national parks as the Arrayanes and the Glaciers in Tierra Del Fuego and Península Valdés own have accesses for wheelchairs, but are limited.
Regarding to "Capital Federal" and "Great Buenos Aires" in the last years many accessible activities and tourist circuits have begun to be developed. Some of the specific examples that we found to mention of accessible places or circuits, are:
The Planetarium of the city of Buenos Aires, the Abasto market, the Zoo of Buenos Aires and the Train of the coast (North zone of Great Buenos Aires)
