By employing an ethnographic approach that incorporates various research techniques, we have been able to identify how individuals navigate and access different activities and services of general interest within their respective territories. Furthermore, we compare their current mobility experiences with their pre-disability movements, taking into account their biographical perspectives. In addition, we have identified the most common destinations, modes of transportation utilized, and the reasons behind their travel. Based on our findings, we propose a typology that emphasizes the subjective aspects of mobility experiences among people with disabilities. It is important to highlight that this study represents an endeavor to contribute to the understanding of disabilities through the lens of mobility. Although disability is acknowledged as having a spatial dimension, the development of studies that explore the intersection of disability, mobility, and territory from a critical and experiential standpoint remains relatively limited in Latin America. El siguiente trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar las movilidades de personas con discapacidad en dos comunas rurales del Sur de Chile: San Juan de la Costa y las Islas de Quinchao. Utilizando un enfoque etnográfico y combinando diversas técnicas de investigación, pudimos examinar cómo estas personas se desplazan y acceden a actividades y servicios en sus respectivos territorios. Comparamos sus desplazamientos actuales con aquellos anteriores al inicio de su discapacidad, tomando en cuenta perspectivas biográficas. Además, identificamos los destinos más comunes, los modos de transporte utilizados y los motivos de sus desplazamientos. A partir de estos hallazgos, presentamos una tipología que destaca los aspectos subjetivos de las experiencias móviles de las personas con discapacidad. Finalmente, destacamos que este estudio se erige como un esfuerzo por contribuir a “leer” las discapacidades desde el enfoque de la movilidad ya que a pesar que se asume que la discapacidad es una cuestión “espacial”, a nivel latinoamericano aún es muy incipiente el desarrollo de estudios que vinculen discapacidad, movilidad y territorio desde una perspectiva experiencial.
