Coast of Riches: A Journey Through Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama A 9 day adventure through the remaining three Central American countries, starting in Nicaragua, traveling through Costa Rica and ending in Panama! With this trip I will complete country 47-49!

When contemplating the next trip, there was an underlying urge to finish what I started in the End of the World Tour. I contacted my friend Bill and we went into planning mode.

We wanted to visit exotic locations of the southern part of Central America while seeing the best hotels and resorts on the way. To continue from where we left off, we would arrive in country 47, Nicaragua, travel down through country 48, Costa Rica, and leave from country 49, Panama.

The Rough Itinerary:

Day 1 and 2 Nicaragua: Managua, Leon, San Juan del Sur, Granada, and Ometepe.
Day 3, 4, and 5 Costa Rica: Arenal, San Jose, and Manuel Antonio.
Day 6, 7, and 8 Panama: David, Boquete, Bocas del Toro, Panama City and of course the famous canal!

We booked our flights as follows:

EWR – IAH – MGA
BOC – PAC
PTY – EWR

There are plenty of highlights we hope to see and activities we look forward to experiencing.

Follow our adventure as we travel through the “coast of riches”, finishing the loop and conquering Central America!

I’m curious to find out what you thought of Arenal. I’m going to be doing Managua-Granada-Liberia-Arenal-Monteverde-Montezuma-San Jose in 9 days later this month! Reading your blog has just made me MOAR excited about the trip! 🙂

  Arenal isn’t active anymore, meaning no spectacular night show… but still worth checking out. I highly recommend swimming in Cerro Chato the dormant volcano lake next to it.
  
  Sounds like you have a real speed tourism trip ahead of you! Leave plenty of time for transport if you are taking buses.
  
  Good luck!
