1999 7/7-7/16

319 km and approximately 1,500 meters of elevation gain by bike

This tour included coastal rainforest, a lot of the beaches of the southern pacific coast and some of the mid elevation rainforest near the border with Panama. A couple of the highlights were the Ballena Marine Sanctuary and the Wilson Botanical Gardens.
