Travelling to Mexico in a wheelchair: a country full of opportunities
Mexico stands out for its rich culture, diverse landscapes and an unrivalled warmth. For those who want to travel around Mexico in a wheelchair, a land of contrasts and accessible experiences awaits.
Although public transport can present certain accessibility challenges, our personalised service offers accessible transport options that will take you to every corner of this magical country.
The best time to discover Mexico
The beauty of Mexico can be enjoyed all year round, but the best time to visit, especially if you are looking for a warm climate and sunny days, is from December to April. During these months, the weather is drier and the temperatures are ideal for exploring the beaches, the ancient ruins and the vibrant cities without worrying about the rain.

- Acapulco: Its iconic beaches offer days of sun and relaxation.
Travelling to the Riviera Maya with my family was an incredible experience, and it was all thanks to Travel Xperience! As a wheelchair user, I was worried about how I would enjoy the beaches and the parks, but everything was perfectly adapted.
We enjoyed Playa del Carmen, accessible excursions and theme parks where all of us, including my children aged 8 and 13, had a wonderful time. The organisation and advice from Travel Xperience made everything easy and worry-free. Unforgettable! The Puigpedròs family.
