Costa Rica to Panama: Cahuita, Puerto Viejo, Almirante, Bocas del Toro

Jan 19th 2015 — Biking,Costa Rica,Panama,San Jose to Panama City — 7:37 pm

We started the day in the mountain town of La Fortuna we ended up on the Caribbean coast in Cahuita thanks to a bus and 100k of riding.

Cahuita was a quant little town, and after spending a night there and taking a stroll in the nearby national park we decided to spend new years eve in the nearby town of Puerto Viejo.

After one action-packed night in Puerto Viejo that seemed like two in my memory due to how action-packed it was, we hit the road again, bumbled our way across the border into Panama, spent a night in the port town of Almirante and then grabbed a boat to the resort destination of Bocas del Toro.

Costa Rica: Liberia, Upala, San Rafael de Gustavo, La Fortuna

Jan 18th 2015 — Biking,Costa Rica,San Jose to Panama City — 1:14 pm

We left the Pacific Ocean at Coco and biked to Liberia and hopped on a bus to Upala, near the border of Nicaragua. We had been told that Rio Celeste was a very blue river worth checking out and Joseph had been talking about wanting to go to La Fortuna for a long time.

After swimming in a hot river we discovered that La Fortuna is a very popular city with white people. Ziplines and mini-golf are mandatory. We promptly left.

Costa Rica: Playa Carrillo, Samara, Tamarindo, Coco

Jan 16th 2015 — Biking,Costa Rica,San Jose to Panama City — 8:35 am

We spent the greater part of a day trying to follow the coast from Samara. Our lovely dirt road turned into a rather hellish mixture of a much rougher dirt road combined with lots of traffic.

Dust was everywhere.

I could not imagine what it would be like to live there. We hightailed it out on a bus to Nicoya to meet up with our old friend, pavement.
