(^22) Puntarenas – Tambor - 29 kilometres
By morning, we made our way to the small harbour to catch the ferry across the
Golf de Nicoya to Paquera, situated on Peninsula de Nicoya. The peninsula is known
for its gorgeous beaches and tropical rainforest. Therefore, I thought it worth
investigating as it’s blessed with abundant fauna and exotic flora.
A quick ferry ride brought us to Paquera, and it immediately became apparent that
riding wouldn’t be easy. The weather was humid and hot, and the narrow winding
path led straight up a mountain. It wasn’t that the climb was high, but that the
gradient was impossibly steep. Nevertheless, we wrestled our bikes up almost
vertical inclines and slinked into Tambor soaked in perspiration. Despite the
difficulty in reaching it, Tambor had a magnificent location along a horseshoe-
shaped bay, and it dawned upon me that Costa Rica was indeed one of the world’s
most scenic countries.
