Costa Rica, Ultimate Adventure Medley, Trip Journal from a BikeHike Junkie

Mike Oswald of Wisconsin, US is one of our very dedicated travellers and has put together 2 fabulous accounts of his recent BikeHike Adventures. He has traveled with us to Costa Rica on our Ultimate Adventure Medley and to Turkey on our Turkish Delight. I had the pleasure of meeting and venturing with him on the Turkey trip. He's been kind enough to share his journals with us, here's Costa Rica and Turkey is coming soon.

Coast to Coast in 2006
In November of 2006 Bikehike.com's Costa Rican Ultimate Adventure Medley tour took me from San Jose to the mouth of the Pacuare River to the Nicoya Peninsula in 17 days.
I was able to get a firsthand look at the culture, geography, and climate of much of Costa Rica by mountain biking through the Orosi Valley, rafting the Pacuare River, Hiking up Mount Arenal, biking down the Nicoya Peninsula, and finally Sea Kayaking, Surfing, and Snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean. The places I saw, people I met, and adventures I took will undoubtedly be some of the most amazing experiences of my entire life.
