The most memorable was cycling through three different terrains each with fabulous scenery in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Visiting the volcano at Charco Verde in Nicaragua. Swimming in the Caribbean Sea and the next day in the Pacific Ocean in Panama. (more)Jennifer Steward

Memorable parts?
Snorkelling in Caye Caulker, Belize, was an amazing experience! Nurse sharks, stingrays and turtles, not to mention oodles of brightly coloured fish, seemed completely oblivious to our presence, and Hol Chan Marine Reserve, with its dazzling array of corals and fish, was stunning. What a fantastic day! Just as good, but for different reasons, was the memorable Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave - wading through water; scrambling up, over and under rocks; and marvelling at the...

I loved the jungle lodge in Sarapiqui - a 2 hour tractor drive from the nearest tarmac road. An idyllic location in the heart of the forest. (more)Jeremy Rodgers
