Real route: 1,861 km and about 40 h of riding spread over 9 days. The detailed roadbook (viewpoints, stops and good addresses) is handed to you at the start.

Day-by-day itinerary

Legs read off the outfitter's own route: towns crossed, distances and time in the saddle. Indicative route, adaptable to the weather, your level and what you feel like (private tours). One day is deliberately short: Bocas del Toro (101 km). You arrive early because there is something to see there.
