"The most challenging trip I have ever done, but also the most rewarding. Riding through incredible scenery, seeing close up how another part of the world lives, eating massive amounts of food, ending each day worn out but oh so satisfied, spending time with an incredible group of people - what else is there to say !?"

"An amazing adventure with other cyclists from all over the world! Riding over so many mountains, climbing thousands of feet everyday was the hardest cycling I have ever done. I loved getting off the beaten path on backcountry dirt roads through places that tourists seldom see. I discovered the real Central American landscapes and people! Thanks TDA!"

Solo riders will be paired with another rider of the same gender at no additional charge. Accommodation the night before first cycling day and the night of last cycling day are included in entry fee. We advise booking at least 1 additional night at tour accommodation before the tour, to be able to attend rider briefing and have assistance from tour bike mechanic in setting up your bike.
Full entry fee payment is due 90 days before the tour start date. A registration fee of US$150 must first be paid to hold your place on the tour and is in addition to the entry fee listed above. Registration fee is non-refundable, but may be transferred once, to another tour of your choosing, 90 days or more before the start date of the original tour you have registered for. We recommend registering 4 - 6 months before the tour start date to take full advantage of our pre-tour support and information bulletins, but late registrations are possible when spaces are still available.
Full tour entry fees will receive an early payment discount of USD$400 if full payment is received 6 months before the start of the tour. TDA alumni get special alumni discounts. Please contact our office for further details.
