Wheelchair accessible van in Bogota or Panama

Post new topic

Thelongbarns

My family is evaluating a couple of different options for a stint in Central America. One of our options is Bogota, another Panama.

We have a Toyota Sienna hybrid equipped with a VMI automatic ramp. We are wondering if we can get maintenance for it in Bogota, and if we would be able to use it on typically Bogota streets. Is it a crazy idea to bring our van to Bogota?


We have the same questions for Panama, which I assume will overall be easier for an accessible van but I do wonder if we will be able to get maintenance on it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
