Cycle Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama - SUPERB! Absolutely amazing! Loved every moment. Roberto our guide was fantastic and this made our holiday extra special, nothing was too much trouble. I have been on many trips with this tour operator and the standard of its guides is usually good, but Roberto was exceptional. The itinerary was very varied, full on, and I enjoyed the switch backs between the Pacific coast and the Caribbean. A snapshot of the best of the three countries within two weeks. I also really enjoyed the island stays, boat rides, dolphin watching and snorkelling. A real mixed bag, but in particular the cycling was fantastic.
This was a great trip which we really enjoyed. It was described as 'moderate/challenging', which related to the 'undulations' and sometimes dirt tracks upon which we cycled, and some of the 'normal' roads and paved roads were a little rough. Having said that, we all managed OK. Additionally, the trip was 'full on' with some early starts, some late meals and other activities such as boat trips, and other options too. No two days were the same, variety was the key. There were 16 of us on this trip, ranging in age from 32-69 (which was me!) with two couples (all in their sixties) the rest friends/singles, and a majority of women.
What a fabulous way to explore these countries This was our first trip with this tour company and I have to say we had a few reservations before we left . We have been on many of our own cycling holidays but never on an organised one . We were worried there might not be enough cycling or that we might have to wait ages for others or hold others up.However Roberto our leader was brilliant . We all cycled at our own pace but he kept us all together at regroup points and everyone was happy .What I loved about the holiday was the opportunity to do something we like -the cycling but also to do sightseeing and explore places I know we would not have seen if we were on our own .Everything was so well organised even down to our lunch being booked in advance and we pay at end of the week .I liked being in a group we had such a laugh it was like a two week party and those on their own were looked after well.I wish we had started looking at this tour company's holidays before , I will certainly go on another
