Coast to Coast Multi-Sport - Tour Description
What about traversing from the Pacific Ocean all the way to Caribbean Sea of Costa Rica, in this Coast to Coast Multi-Sport Adventure trip that will allow you to travel using only self propelled adventures like hiking, mountain biking, rafting and kayaking. This is a demanding adventure and you should be doing fitness activity on a regular basis at home before trying to do this trip, but you don't need to be a super hero to be able to complete it. It will be the best if you try to ride your bike one day and the next day you switch to do some running / jogging / hiking, to get accustomed to change disciplines. In this trip we will have one type of activity per day, and most of the trip we will have a support vehicle taking our gear and luggage. The lodging ranges from nice comfy hotels, to small cabinas in tiny towns, to camping in the middle of nowhere. First/last day hotels and airport transfers are included in this trip.
