Cycling in Central America

Cycling in Central America

Central America - great for cycling

Central America and Mexico are great for cycling as the scenery is fantastic, the people are very friendly, and there is not too much traffic if you pick your routes carefully and avoid the captal cities. There are plenty of places to stay, and even cycle repair shops in many towns. The dry season is generally in our winter - the best time to go.

Pedalling to Panama - The route

Starting at Creel in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, Clive Parker cycled alone through desert and mountains to Guadalajara, then across to the Pacific Coast. He followed the coast - with a few detours inland - down to Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and finally finishing in Panama in April 2006.

The book

When he returned home, Clive wrote "Pedalling to Panama" about the journey, the history of the region, and conversations he had with locals he met.

"A super book, not a dull paragraph", Dervla Murphy.

The book will inspire and hopefully encourage others to see this amazing part of the world. Read more about it on the next page.

A super book, not a dull paragraph. A must for anyone travelling to Central America
