Cultural Holidays in Central America

What a truly magical experience this cycling holiday turned out to be! My daughter and I, both newcomers to cycling, wanted something extraordinary to mark a special time before she leaves home, and this adventure absolutely exceeded every expectation. We embarked on a journey through three incredible countries, discovering stunning landscapes and hidden gems along the way. The group we joined was fantastic—supportive, fun, and full of laughter. From start to finish, we were surrounded by kind people who made every moment even more memorable. It wasn’t just a holiday; it was the perfect bonding experience, filled with joy, a little challenge, and a lot of laughter. We came home with our hearts full and memories we’ll cherish forever. Simply the best!

Maria Sandford Cycle Nicaragua, Costa Rica & Panama

This trip is great if you don’t want full-on culture. It covers three Mayan archaeological sites which enabled us to slowly build a picture of the ancient Mayans, how their civilisation grew and why they abandoned their cities. Alongside other aspects of Belizean culture, there’s a lot of wildlife on show, mainly birds, but also bats, spider monkeys, howler monkeys, coatimundi, and of course an array of sealife at Caye Caulker. We saw lots of new bird species with the invaluable help of our guide, Jorge Estrella.

Enjoyed seeing birds and animals, rain forest, snorkeling and learning about Costa Rican culture. Some accommodations and provided meals were less desirable than others but always adequate.
