The hikes were beautiful. We were very fortunate as we never had rain. I suspect it would have been very difficult walking with rain. So feel very fortunate. The B&Bs were perfect for our needs. Local food and pubs excellent. The people we stayed with or ran into while walking were so nice, interesting and welcoming. Climbs were challenging and glad I was in shape for the trip.
Fantastic, active way to explore 3 countries, their culture and wildlife. An all-round fantastic holiday. A great way to see three countries at a slower pace. Cycling through the villages gives you a great chance to soak up their way of life. It was great to be active each day, fitting so much in to any one day. On paper the cycling distances look short but in the heat they are about right. There were a few hills but the scenery totally made it worthwhile. The changing landscapes (rain forest, volcanoes, islands, Pacific coast, Caribbean coast, continental divide etc) were great to experience. There are fantastic opportunities to see wildlife be it from the roadside, in the hotel grounds or via activities such as the river floats and canopy walks.
The trip has been well planned to provide the perfect balance of cycling activity, wildlife spotting and experiencing the three countries. Hotels were better than I had expected and restaurants were well chosen.
The experience surpassed my expectations. Tour leader, Pedro was excellent. He actually went beyond the call of duty to help us. He interacted with everyone. Driver, Alex was super as well. He drove expertly and safely.
