Costa Rica and Nicaragua Tours & Trips
What if you could experience two distinct Central American countries in one trip? Costa Rica and Nicaragua complement each other well. Costa Rica delivers Arenal Volcano, Monteverde cloud forests, Manuel Antonio beaches, and zip-lining. Nicaragua brings Granada's colonial charm, Ometepe Island sitting in Lake Nicaragua, León, and San Juan del Sur for surfing. Costa Rica's more developed and pricier, Nicaragua grittier and more affordable.

As mentioned previously this was an ambitious itinerary. Chris the leader made it work, so I feel very grateful to him for this. It was just brilliant to see 3 very different countries in Central America on 2 wheels on a two week trip.
Cycle Nicaragua to the Panama CanalNice your, just wish I knew about the minimum participant requirement for activities. Didn’t get to participate in some activities because not enough people signed up so that was unfortunate. Otherwise nice organization.
Volcano Trail: Waves & Local WaysThe one thing which would improve this trip is to have had breakfast included. The was no reason why breakfast could not have been provided in the vast majority of hotels. The general opinion of the group was that paying for breakfasts within the tour price would have been better. In the mornings everyone was going off in different directions, it would have been much better to have had breakfasts in one location.
