Cancun – If you have never been to the Yucatan region a trip to Cancun may be just what the thing.
When I visited 4 years ago the petroglyph area was not a good place for wheelchairs. Perhaps someone with more recent experience can comment.
Compostela has good access for wheelchairs.
Joe,
Do you think this area is accessible by someone in a wheelchair. We have off road wheels on a regular chair and also have a beach chair with large balloon tires. Is this a wide or narrow path, smooth or rocky terrain?
Thanks
The information on the Petroglyphs at Altavista is appriciated. Defently a trip to take to show my grandchildren. Thanks
