Cycle to the end of the world with us!

Join us this November/December on La Ruta Maya – The Doomsday Ride: a 2300km bicycle expedition from San Jose, Costa Rica to Belize City, Belize. The Mayan calendar predicts that the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012 and what better way to experience that momentous event than from the seat of your bicycle at the historic Mayan Temple at Lamani, just outside Belize City.

Experience the end of history! Discover for yourself the mystery that is the Mayan Calendar. An experience never to be repeated…register now.

On the way cycle through Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala & Belize. Amble through the Mayan ruins at Tikal, Copan & Lamani. Pedal through small villages, colourful markets, the amazing architecture of Granada, Nicaragua’s former capital, rainforests and bustling cities. Gaze up at towering volcanoes – some currently active like Costa Rica’s Volcan Arenal. Laze away on sun-drenched beaches or try your luck at spotting the most beautiful of birds, the Quetzal, Guatemala’s national symbol.

The cycling will be challenging with many gorgeous climbs and, thankfully, an equal number of stunning descents. Our route takes us through misty rainforests, and past smoking volcanoes, roaring waterfalls, crater lakes, hot springs & deserted beaches; largely along little-used back roads, many of these unpaved.

The expedition features 28 cycling days, averaging 90 km each, broken up by 7 rest days for a total of 35 days.

As this may be your last bike ride (if the Mayans are right) we have carefully selected the rest days to make sure you make the most of your time remaining:

La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Granada, Nicaragua
Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Copan Ruinas, Honduras
Panajachel, Guatemala
