(^8) Palmar – Uvita - 45 kilometres
The coastal route between Palmar and Uvita didn’t run flush next to the coast, but
it remained a gorgeous ride sporting plenty of ceviche traders and spectacular
vistas.
Uvita’s unusual hostel had dormitories consisting of mosquito-netted beds in tree
houses in gigantic mango trees. A pleasant kitchen area was where nearly everyone
gathered to devour the many mangoes that fell to the ground. Our tents were
pitched under cover, which prevented mangoes from falling on the tents. Uvita,
situated within the Marino Ballena National Park, sported a flat, sandy beach
stretching miles along the coast, which is blessed by crystal blue waters. So
pleasant was it; three full days were spent in Uvita. A slack rope in the garden
provided hours of fun, but none quite mastered it.
