Chile

Law Nº 19,284 calls for the complete social integration of people with disabilities. This law requires that all public buildings, private buildings built after 1994 (including hotels, restaurants, theaters and museums) and public transit be wheelchair accessible.

Santiago's Metro is progressively making subway lines more accessible. Public bus company Transantiago has access ramps and spaces for wheelchairs on new buses. Some traffic lights have audio-indicated crossings for the blind.

Chile's National Tourism Service (Sernatur) and the National Disabilities Service (Senadis) have put together a comprehensive guide to the country's best handicap-accessible hotels and lodging, including 115 places that have adopted measures to make them welcoming to disabled visitors. The guide, organized by region, evaluates each site through five criteria: parking, rooms, bathrooms, entrances, and accessibility of common areas.
