Nicaragua Bicycle Tours 2024/2025

“A fantastic induction to 3 central American countries.... covering pacific and caribbean coasts, spending most of the time surrounded by fantastic scenery. I think we had a very authentic experience... in terms of the best sites, seeing where indigenous people lived, and plenty of opportunity for wildlife spotting along the way. The cycling was a good challenge but not overly taxing. It was well paced and the days were very well structured to give a great balance of cycling, sight-seeing, meal times and R&R.”

“An amazing whistlestop tour of Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama, their Pacific and Caribbean coasts and their rain forests, cloud forests and arid plains. We covered a lot of ground on the trip, over 330 miles on the bikes and in excess of 2,000 miles in the bus. For nature lovers the variety of birds and animals is wonderful. We managed to see sloths, toucans, ospreys, howler monkeys, various iguanas, an armadillo and a crocodile not to mention numerous unusually coloured birds, on which we got the full low down, thanks to David, a keen twitcher in our group. He drew our attention to Montezuma's Oropendola, a member of the Blackbird family with a yellow tail that builds a hanging nest. Until then I would have said it was something nasty one went down with on holiday! My knowledge of the geography of the three countries was scanty prior to the trip and I hadn't appreciated how many volcanoes there were, nor that several are still active. The resulting terrain is quite 'lumpy' from a cycling perspective which made for some energetic days, especially given the heat (and humidity in some areas). We finished in Panama City and, of course, got to see the canal and the container ships being guided through it and experienced the crazy driving of the Panamanians. All in all a wonderful trip and one that I would heartily recommend. Having been on the Cycling Cuba trip last year, which my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed, I would say that this exceeded it.”

“An amazing adventure from start to finish. If you want to have an adventure with your bike then book this one. To cycle/bus through three different countries in two weeks is great.”
