Are you truly a sport adventurer? This is the only tour that includes a completely human-powered 248-kilometre (154 miles) crossing of Central America! The Coast to Coast Adventure is our flagship trip, challenging people since 1994. A true multi-activity eco-adventure - mountain biking, hiking, whitewater rafting, sea kayaking, plus playing under waterfalls and swimming in crystalline rivers, always progressing with your own muscles towards the goal of the east coast of the continent. It's all up to you - no motors or engines or animal packs to help.
The route traverses mountain villages, coffee and sugar plantations, riverside communities and small villages remote from pavement and traffic. Cross the Continental Divide and descend into virgin forests, camping and cooking under the stars.
Classified as HARD on our scale of difficulty, but the main requirement is a sense of adventure and a good dose of stamina.

Amazing Coast to Coast adventure
5 -
Excellent
“Me and my travel companion, have been talking about how well done and amazing our Coast to Coast adventure was everyday since we completed it. This has brought big smiles to us.
Every moment was well done, right from the start with Juan Carlos picking us from the airport to the day he said goodbye. Juan Carlos is an amazing and knowledgeable man.
This can also be said for the other crew you have working for you as well. Memo, the man that knows everyone is an amazing cook and support ( I hope his back stays strong), Julio the kayak safety guide will be a very good guide with his passion for the jungle, rivers, wildlife and people and the wild fruit he shared with us.
Juan Carlos is so friendly and helpful. He gave us so much information about the areas we visited, the people we meet along the way and the different plants and animals. The organization JC and Memo provided was 5 star.
Coast to Coast Adventures is an incredible company your planning, communication, safety and details are a true credit to you, Thank You.”

“I write this email to send a HUGE thank you to the recent team who made this experience in CR a lifetime beautiful memory.
From the moment we were met at the San Jose airport it was a seamless, well organized trip.
For the next 12 days our guide Juan Carlos(JC), our driver Memo and the boys made us feel like family.
The entire trip was exhilarating.. a sensory experience and sensation .. from the activities each day...the food.. the local changing scenery.. the teams knowledge...and being in the most wonderful and varied locations each night.
The accommodation never disappointed me...the small tents.. then a lovely hotel room.
Santa Maria and then the hill climb the next day.
The Soda eateries.. Memo & JC food.And and and and and.. the list is too long to type.It was utterly beyond my expectations.
Please say thanks to the team. As we sit in Santa Teresa surfing we recommend this trip daily to others.
Keep this adventure going and I would repeat it any day if I ever get another opportunity .”
