Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama Trip Details

Here are a few trip details so that you can see where I'm going over the next 16 days.

I'm staying near Heathrow Airport on the evening of 12 November; and fly to Miami, departure 09:45, with a transfer onto a flight to Managua in Nicaragua, scheduled arrival time 20:30 on Saturday 13 November ( the time change is -6 hours, so that is 14:30 UK time); with a two hour bus transfer on to to Granada (Day 1).

We travel down the Pacific coast, over the border into Costa Rica on Day 5. The cycling in Costa Rica takes us close to the active Arenal Volcano as we ride through jungle and rural areas to the tropical lowlands on the Caribbean coast at Cahuita.

We move into Panama on Day 10 with some longer days cycling as we switch coasts again towards Santiago and then on to the Panama Canal and Panama City. We depart Panama City on the afternoon of Saturday 27 November at 14:00, transferring again at Miami for a 20:35 flight to London. Finally I am due to get a 15:00 flight on Sunday 28 November to Glasgow.

All international flights are American Airlines. Just a small detail for travellers: our American friends now require visas even for transit passengers. A new level of security checking. You can apply electronically, cost $14; lasts for 2 years.
