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.

Cyclists wind through Turrialba's lush valleys, rest in Bocas del Toro's island paradise, and ride Panama City's coastal path. Premium accommodation in Panama City and guided tours of Miraflores locks await.
