An amazing adventure from start to finish. If you want to have an adventure with your bike then book this one. To cycle/bus through three different countries in two weeks is great.
Costa rica family adventure What a fabulous experience only made possible by our wonderful guide Glenda Araya, our fantastic driver Mauricio and 3 families who met as strangers and ended the 2 weeks as one big, happy family. It may have rained every night (and when it rains it really rains) and we may have witnessed some of the most amazing thunder and lightening I have ever seen, but that didn`t detract from the scenery which was stunning and the wildlife which was up close and fascinating.
Every day involved a new experience whether it was gliding slowly on a boat through the deserted waterways of Tortuguero ( made possible by Glenda`s expertise in managing to capture a quiet time of day) or chewing on raw cacao beans on the chocolate tour then sampling the finished product or white water rafting, something I always said I would never do but somehow it seemed right to be brave and give it a go.
You lose track of the days of the week and really it isn`t important- just let go and enjoy the experience as everything is organised for you.
Ecuador is an amazing place to visit with a diverse geography. It means every day of a two week holiday is varied and interesting. With our great guide and driver we managed to go from nearly 5000m to sea level with lots of other scenery and activities along the way.
