For many people with disabilities, travel has often meant compromise. Limited options. Unanswered questions. Uncertainty about accessibility, safety, or whether a destination will truly work. Too often, the dream of travel fades before it ever begins.
But what if travel didn’t have to be that way?
What if your next vacation could be designed around you — your needs, your pace, your interests, and your desire to truly enjoy the world?
That is exactly why IL Viaggio Travel exists.
Who We Are — And Why We Do What We Do
IL Viaggio Travel is a Costa Rica family business – based travel company – with more than 20 years of experience creating meaningful journeys in Costa Rica. Over a decade ago, we made a conscious decision to specialize in accessible and inclusive travel, not as an add-on, but as our core mission. We believe that travel is a right, not a privilege, and that people with disabilities deserve the same richness of experience as any other traveler — without stress, uncertainty, or loss of dignity.
Accessible travel is not just about ramps or adapted rooms. It is about planning, knowledge, equipment, trained staff, and real on-the-ground expertise. It is about knowing which hotels truly work, which experiences are genuinely accessible, how transportation must be adapted, and how to anticipate needs before challenges arise. That’s where we come in.
What We Offer: Travel Designed for Real Life
IL Viaggio Travel designs custom-made journeys for all travelers, including and not limited to mobility disabilities, sensory disabilities, chronic conditions, seniors, families, and multi-generational groups. Every itinerary is built from scratch — no templates, no assumptions.

- Adapted and accessible transportation
- Carefully vetted hotels with adapted rooms
- Certified bilingual guides trained in inclusive service

Whether you travel solo, with a partner, with friends, or with family, our goal is simple: you travel with confidence, comfort, and joy.
Why Costa Rica? A Destination That Welcomes Everyone
Costa Rica is much more than a tropical paradise. It is a country known for its warmth, biodiversity, sustainability, and human-centered values. Increasingly, it is also becoming a destination where accessibility and inclusion matters.
Imagine:
– Rolling through rainforest walkways surrounded by wildlife
– Enjoying a coffee experience that engages all your senses
– Relaxing on accessible beaches with support equipment available
– Reconnecting with yourself, with nature, at a slow travel pace
– Exploring volcanoes, rainforests, and cultural landmarks with peace of mind
Costa Rica is ideal for many types of travelers:
- Family escapes where everyone can participate together
- Couple escapes including romantic getaways & honeymoons with privacy and care
- Adventure experiences adapted for different abilities
- And most importantly — you are not navigating it alone. You have a local team that understands both the country and accessibility.
Accessible Travel Is About Trust
One of the biggest barriers to travel for people with disabilities is uncertainty. Will the room really work? Will transportation be safe? Will assistance be available? Will I be treated with respect? At IL Viaggio Travel, trust is everything. We only recommend what we personally know, inspect, and use. We work directly with local suppliers, we train our partners, and we have a continuous improve philosophy in regards to accessibility standards. We don’t sell “perfect” destinations. We create honest, well-planned, supported experiences — because real accessibility is built on transparency, preparation, and empathy.
A New Door Opens
For many people reading this, accessible international travel may feel distant or overwhelming. Our message is simple: It doesn’t have to be.
Travel can be restorative. It can be empowering. It can be joyful. It can reconnect you with yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you. Costa Rica can be your next chapter — and IL Viaggio Travel can help you write it. If you’ve ever thought “maybe someday”, this is your sign to start asking “why not now?”
Because accessible travel isn’t the future.
It’s happening — and it’s waiting for you.
