National Geographic Traveler has selected BikeHike Adventures' Costa Rica Coast to Coast Adventure for their fourth annual "50 Tours of a Lifetime" issue. The 15-day adventure is muscle powered, and travellers traverse from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic shores of Costa Rica by bike, raft, and foot. The feature, which can be found in the May/June 2009 issue, highlights tours that are genuine, immersive, sustainable, and provide a deep cultural connection for travellers.
In the congratulatory letter from National Geographic Traveler magazine, senior editor Norie Quintos notes, "Every year, the editorial team combs the world to find the most authentic, most innovative, most immersive, best-guided, and most sustainable tours."
"We are thrilled to be recognized for the second year in a row by National Geographic Traveler magazine," says Trish Sare, founder and director of BikeHike Adventures. In 2008 BikeHike's Ecuador, Andes to Amazon Adventure was also recognized as one of the Tours of a Lifetime.
