Starting in the colonial city of Granada and ending in bustling Panama City, our route takes us into Costa Rica’s steamy rainforests, alongside active volcanoes and to the tropical island of Bocas del Toro. We explore the island of Ometepe at Lake Nicaragua, search for howler monkeys while rafting on the Tenorio River, and ride through rural villages along the Caribbean coast. Our journey ends with a cycle near the Panama Canal, following our visit to the colossal Miraflores Locks.
  • Cycle through three different countries in two weeks
  • Relax on Pacific beaches and the idyllic Caribbean islands of Bocas del Toro
  • Ride along the Panama Canal, see the Miraflores Locks in action
  • Discover the dramatic Ometepe Island, with its twin volcanic peaks
  • Look for wildlife in the national parks of Costa Rica

  • Explore the beautiful Bocas del Toro islands with white-sand beaches and crystalline waters
  • Enjoy a wildlife float trip on the Tenorio River

We spend 14 nights in a mixture of hotels, with two-night stays at four of the properties used. Make sure to bring your swimwear, many have pools and some are right by the beach.



Nicaragua







In Granada, we usually stay at Hotel Patio del Malinche(above), a restored colonial house in the centre of this historic town. Rooms are arranged around a pretty courtyard with a swimming pool. On Ometepe island, our accommodation is usually Hotel Charco Verde, on the shore of Lake Nicaragua and in the protected area of the natural reserve with amazing views of Concepción volcano. In San Juan del Sur, we usually stay at Hotel Gran Oceano, just a short walk from the beach. Rooms are set around a courtyard garden and there is a swimming pool. 



Costa Rica







Our first night in Costa Rica is at Hotel Hacienda La Pacifica(above) in the Cañas area. The rustic hotel is in a tranquil spot, plus there’s a good chance of seeing exotic birds in the garden. In La Fortuna, our accommodation is Hotel San Bosco in the centre of lively La Fortuna, home to a selection of great restaurants. In Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, our accommodation is normally the peaceful Hotel Escape Caribeño, a short walk from the beach and a 10-minute walk from the town. 



Panama







In Bocas del Toro, we usually stay at Hotel Gran Bahia for two nights, which is set in an antique wooden building opposite the sea and away from the lively centre of Bocas Town. Our accommodation at Playa Las Lajas is the Las Lajas Beach Resort. It is directly on the beach with a beachfront pool and bar-restaurant, plus hammocks. For the last two nights of the trip, we usually stay at the Holiday Inn Panama Canal. It has cosy rooms, an outdoor pool and is very close to the Panama Canal locks.
