Costa Rica and Panama: Misc
These are pictures from the course of the trip that were taken with my iPhone. Thank you Jeff and Joseph for hanging out with me for a month. Good times.
Costa Rica to Panama: Cahuita, Puerto Viejo, Almirante, Bocas del Toro
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
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
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.
Costa Rica: Following the Coast from Montezuma
Beaches and biking on the western edge of the Nicoya Peninsula.
Costa Rica: San Jose a Playa Tambor
Pictures from the first several days of a month spent bicycle touring through Costa Rica (mostly) and Panama (less so) in December and January. We did about 750 miles in total.
