16-Day Costa Rica and Panama Ways from San Jose - Self Guided Tour
5.0
1 reviews
I traveled through both Costa Rica and Panama, and I was impressed by how smoothly the transport connections worked between each stop. The frequent hotel changes meant packing up almost every day, which got a bit tiring. Border fees and meals weren't included, so I kept cash handy for those.
