Backpacking from Costa Rica to Peru.?
May 22nd, 2010 | 
Author: I am headed down to Costa Rica in July and I was looking to Backpack from San Jose,CR to Lima, Peru. What are some good destinations to throw in on the way? I plan i just backpacking through CR and Panama and fly from Panama to Lima, Peru so that I skip some areas. I plan on going through Manuel Antonio and the San Blaas Islands so far and then Machu pichu in Peru other than that I am kind of at a loss on what I should go see. Any ideas? Also anybody up for joining me for the adventure?
That’s a great plan. Ive made it to Panama but not no more south than there.
I backed packed from Mexico To Panama.
In Cr Manuel Antonio is beautiful and in Panama San Blaas is great.
I recomend when you go to Panama to stay at this Hostel http://www.lunascastlehostel.com/
You will meet back packers from Europe and North America, mostly college students in there 20′s but also people in there 30′s and up. Its a great place there, the people are very friendly and its really fun. That Hostel is in Casco Viejo Panama which is a historical part of Panama City, its a colonial style old city and very close to Panama Canal and other clubs and the taxis are very cheap there to get around. From the hostel you can get transportation to San Blaas and also they offer transportation by boat to Colombia. I know you dont plan on going to Colombia but a lot of people take the boat ride from Panama cause its supposed to be fun but I think its between $200 to $300 bucks so its kind of expensive.
Costa Rica is nicer in my opinion than Panama because it has high mountains and beaches and different climates, Panama is just very hot and a little more flat but Panama is also beautiful and it is a little cheaper than CR.
Have Fun and good luck.
