Cycle Nicaragua, Costa Rica & Panama

This was an amazing trip. The leader team were extremely professional but also really friendly and helpful - a perfect balance. The cycling was superb; routes were varied in terrain, views and challenge and so much thought had gone in to the itinerary. We saw so much in a short time that it was one of our best ever trips.

If you are considering this trip, do not hesitate! It is a wonderful introduction to three very diverse countries. If you like variety, this is the trip for you -- each of the countries is distinct, but there are few similarities from one stop to the other. As well, there is a lot of variety in the activities beyond cycling, including: visits to a coffee plantation and a family-run chocolate making spot ... river rafting ... zip-lining above and through the cloud and rain forest ... Panama Canal visitors center ... animal rescue / rehabilitation facility just to name a few. So, it is not only about cycling, but obviously that is the focus and the means of moving from one destination to the next. The cycling is demanding--yes ... but not so much that the average person cannot feel comfortable on this trip and there are always options if the hill climbing is too much. The benefits of being close to nature and to people are something that can only be experienced on a bike. You won't feel exhausted - but you will have a pleasant "GOOD TIRED" feeling each night. Every morning I was enthusiastic to get back on the bike for what we had to discover that day.

A fantastic way to see three countries and test yourself with some challenging cycle routes. The various destinations varied a lot in terms of the evening distractions - some were town centre with plenty of options - others were more remote. Worth reviewing the trip notes so you can plan.

An absolutely excellent trip and a great way to see three countries in two weeks. There was a real mix of cycling, from rough, tough, dirty stuff, to long smooth straights as well as everything in between (it's essentially a road trip though). A few hills were quite demanding (not least in the heat), so the gravity downhill afterwards was welcome! There was some stunning scenery and it's pretty green and lush everywhere. Beyond the cycling, the other activities added to the sense of holiday, while also giving greater insight into what each country has to offer.

Awesome journey with a combination of physical challenge; great scenery; unique wildlife; amazing food; and beautiful people. I did not know much about the region prior to the trip and had my eyes opened on a regular basis - such a wonderful part of the world, and a great way to experience it! Get on your bikes people!

very professional and a great experienceKevin Hill  is a wonderful operater, and his team are really slick and love what they do.group travel just dosnt get any better than this trip

An amazing cycling trip through Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Everything was very well organised and planned ahead. Roberto was a very good guide and he made the trip a wonderful holiday. Very nice hotels all along the way and some amazing swims on both sides of Central America!

After an extremely long and tiring flight from the UK, we arrived at Managua Airport and was greeted with a beer....at that point I knew this holiday was going to be great!! No rest for the wicked as we had a fairly early start the following day, all of the bikes were prepared in advance which made things really easy for the group. The riding is tough...I dont care what other people have put...Lance Armstrong would have struggled with the heat/ headwinds and terrain in certain parts!! An inspiring trip, which not only allows you to see some wonderful countries, but also to meet some fantastic people in the group you travel with. A very diverse bunch all with a good story to tell over the odd "panama/ balboa...or for the weak hearted Atlas" beers. Watch out for the "electric blue lemonade" cocktail....there isnt any lemonade in it!!

A great way to see 3 countries and keep fit at the same time.

For me the photos. There was a stack of things to see and the locations, the quiet roads for cycling even the restaurants meant that there was always something to see and photo.
