Costa Rica is a vibrant and fertile Central American paradise blessed with a pleasant climate and an abundance of natural beauty.

Vast areas of lush green cloudforest and rainforest, magnificent volcanoes, two incredible and very different coastlines and of course, a network of stunningly picturesque paved roads make the country an perfect and idyllic road cycling destination. This action-packed coast to coast tour, in which we experience both the  laid-back tranquillity of the Caribbean crashing dramatics of the Pacific is a perfect escape.

After a first evening in San José we transfer to Cahuita on the shores of the Caribbean Sea. We'll be staying just outside the outstandingly beautiful Cahuita National Park where we might expect to have close encounters with numerous species of wild animals including sloths, howler monkeys and white-faced capuchins.

The following day will be our first full day on the bikes and by the afternoon we'll be leaving the coast behind us and heading for the hills. From here we continue making our way across the country, allowing plenty of time to enjoy the spectacular scenery in the heart of Costa Rica, following the shores of Lago Arenal and skirting the active Volcan Arenal;  just one of a number of volcano experiences we will have during our journey.

After a week in the saddle we reach the golden beaches of Samara and Carrillo on Pacific coast and our last day in the saddle sees us exploring the sparsely inhabited countryside of the Nicoya Peninsula before transferring back to Costa Rica's capital, San Jose, where will spend our final evening together.

The Christmas/New Year itinerary includes an extra day which we will spend riding in Costa Rica's Central Valley region.
