Veragua/s was the name of Spanish colonial territories in Central America in the 16th century. This classic touring rally is exploring them. The rally is modular and divided into two parts: The North (Costa Rica and Nicaragua) and the South (Costa Rica and Panama).
After the 1st part we strongly recommend a car switch to our classic rally cars with 4×4 – Land Rover or Range Rover because we’re passing some rivers without bridges.
