We shopped around the resort & inquired about renting a jeep or motorcycle. We got both. Just a bit of a hint is that there seems to be no road-rules what so ever. Anything goes. The main means of transportation for the locals are these tiny beat up scooters and they will travel w/o helmets & 3 people on a scooter. There is no real speed limit but most of the scooters cant go that fast. If you do venture out, just be cautious until you get a feel of how the road systems go. Cars, scooters & motorcycles will go in every directions & they have to pass you! We rented a Yamaha 125 which was new & very good condition & had a blast driving it around going to the other beaches. We even raced a local & ended up chatting with him about everything (he could not have been more than 14 yrs old!). Have fun, but be careful! We found really nice spots.

The best way to travel to Central America is by air or sea. By air could be with the company of each country. By sea, with a cruise that stop in some of the most important harbours. Good idea to visit the Caribbean.
With bus always crowded of people without doubt! Bicycle more vital air... Train, timetables not always are so punctual like in London... Take it easy! Motorbyke, yeah! No so tired like bike... Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

Come to Panama by Plane or by car from Costa Rica, but please, DONT try to cross the Darien Gap from Colombia, please don't !!!
If you have at least 80 years of car driving, and driven in 166 countries, you might get around easy with a rental car...!!!
Just kidding, streets are sometimes confusing and sometimes signs are complicated to understand and sometimes are no existent... Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

Renting a car is OK if you can cope with the wild drivers who are bent on getting to where they are going at breakneck speeds and overtaking at dangerous bends. Otherwise there are endless amounts of taxis and minibuses waiting at all the hotels or tourist points. The drivers are experience as they have to cope with the narrow, hilly, switchback roads outside Castries. Most day tours of the island cost US$120 per carload. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

You absolutely should use the local minivans and buses to get around. Sure, it's loud and crowded, and you'll likely be the only foreigner there, but it's fun. Not to mention cheap and convenient. The white minivans will stop anywhere, by dint of sticking your hand out at the side of the road, or banging on the roof when you want to get off. And they always stop. There's always room for one more. Just remember the number of the bus you need to get back.
The big yellow Rasta buses are great. Music blaring as they thunder up and down the island with no regard for road rules or that you might not be hanging on as they round the corner, 2 wheels leaving the ground.
And there will always be someone to tell you which bus you need. Of course, sometimes they're wrong, but that's half the fun, just kick back and enjoy the ride. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

My friend and I rented a 4x4 for 10 days and traveled all around Costa Rica with no problems. We traveled from San Jose to Coco Beach to Arenal Volcano to Manuel Antonio, etc without any problems. The only hassle of driving in Costa Rica is getting out of the San Jose traffic, but living in DC almost made it feel like a normal drive. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

The best connections are going to be with COPA air from Panama.. they have twice and sometimes thrice daily services to La Habana.. they are also good for travel to Jamaica from Central America in fact they may be the only way to fly to Jamaica from central america..
cuba to jamaica trip is a short but an expensive leg.. you can fly air jamaica from havana to kingston or montego bay..
so theoretically you can fly into havana with copa and fly out of kingston with copa for your central american destinations..
Good Luck Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
