320 miles of outstanding cycling, scenery, wildlife , inside a delicious Country. Friendly faces, surprisingly good food, cold beer, and night noises to sooth you to sleep - Costa Rica was super surprising, every day different, from the Central Highlands, Pacific and Caribbean Coasts, Rain Forests, and Volcanic Landscapes.
Costa Rican road quality was far superior to anything you’ll find in the UK, and so refreshing not to have one eye open for pot holes and lunatic drivers , that said there are occasionally some very big American Trucks around but there driving was of the higher order and are no cause for concern.
So as the title suggests “ Just Do It “ you will not be disappointed!
Fantastic time in Caribbean coast and La Fortuna! We had a great time and liked every place and activity that was part of the trip. The transfers were well coordinated and always on time. Most hotel accommodations were good and location was central to other activities. We were able to customize the itinerary to include Caribbean coast which was also really nice!
An excellent trip and I'd recommend Exodus Amazing wildlife. The boat driver at the beginning of the trip (Cecil) did a great job. Chico the bus driver, who was with us for most of the time, was a very good driver, was very efficient dealing with the luggage and he kept the bus immaculate. He was a character. Before travelling to Costa Rica I spent 2 weeks in Panama. It has rubbish piled up everywhere - they don't seem to manage it, don't have a recycling culture and use a lot of polystyrene for the ubiquitous takeaways which just end up in the street. Costa Rica was like a breath of fresh air; no rubbish and a very strong emphasis on conservation. I far prefer independent travel but having researched Costa Rica I realised that going to all the places I wanted to was a challenge too far. Exodus had been highly recommended to me by several friends and they were right. My reservations about an organised trip were dispelled very quickly. It was a small group, everyone bonded and got on very well. I enjoyed everyone's company and never felt the need to 'escape'. There was often a lot of laughter. The trip was planned round my 70th birthday and I had a great group of people to celebrate (? drown my sorrows ?) with!
