The 2019 ParaPan American Games are the largest in history with 1,890 athletes from 33 countries competing in 17 sports.

Similar in structure to the Paralympic Games, ParaPan American athletes stay in the same village, utilize the same transportation network and compete at the same venues as their able bodied peers. See some of the images below to capture the scale and scope of this great event.
