HIGHLIGHTS

Cross Costa Rica using your own power: cycle, hike and kayak
Mountain bike and trek up and over the Continental Divide
Whitewater raft down the Pacuare River
Paddle a river until it ends on a Caribbean beach

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.
