Accessibility
Published on Oct 23, 26
Adventure for everyone. At Brotas Rafting, accessibility is possible in all activities. Participation depends on the degree of each disability and on each person's accessibility needs, and is assessed case by case by the coordinators and guides of the activity.

Participant with a leg amputation rafting on the Jacaré-Pepira River: with a prior assessment and adaptations agreed with the team, adventure is for everyone.
How it works
- Talk to us first. Tell us on WhatsApp which activity, the disability or need, and how the person moves around and communicates.
- Team assessment. The coordinators and guides assess the person's condition and the activity and suggest the best way to take part, with adaptations when needed.
- Clear arrangements. Before the day, you get the instructions: time, what to bring, how access will work and what will happen at each step.
- On the day. Safety briefing for the whole group and support from the guides from start to finish.
Activities
Rafting
Accessibility is possible depending on the degree of disability and each person's needs. The team assesses boarding, positioning in the boat and support during the descent.
Zip lines
Accessibility is possible depending on the degree of disability and each person's needs, respecting the weight, height and age rules of each zip line.
Waterfalls and day use
Access conditions vary from place to place (trails, stairs, floors and facilities). We suggest the most suitable options for each case.
