Well, locals in Cuba are usually poorer than any tourist you can spot there. Inequality? I’m not sure about that. They have some of the world’s finest health care system and education in Cuba, they don’t know what foreclosure is and live stress free lives with little crime.

I’m thinking about a Havanna vacation, however I am an incomplete quad, relying mainly on a power chair.
How easy is it to:
Rent a power chair
Get around in Havanna
Find reasonacle accomodations and restaurants that are disability friendly?
Thx

Hello Andrea,

it’s not particularly easy, because they often have cobblestone roads, streets are narrow with occasional inclines and declines – so moving around could be a little bit challenging, however Cubans are very helpful and offer help without asking. I have met many disabled people in Cuba and despite difficulties cause by the tight infrastructure; they were always able to get by.

Don’t let it put you off, you’re gonna love Cuba

How easy is it to get around for people who are disabled?
