Take Costa Rica by bike

After a year of being restricted to small journeys, start thinking big: like traversing a continent. In helpfully slender Costa Rica, it’s possible to cross from Pacific coast to Caribbean entirely under your own steam in less than two weeks by means of trekking, cycling in the jungly highlands, a wild two-day raft down a whitewater river and one day of kayaking to the sea. Expect to encounter indigenous communities and abundant wildlife en route.
A 12-day small-group Costa Rica Traverse costs from £2,240pp excluding flights; Jan-May,  Sept-Dec  2021 (0800 0744 135; worldexpeditions.co.uk).
