Trip Information

A dream of a cycling vacation to Costa Rica - one of the most vibrant countries in Central America. This beautiful country is a joy for any cyclist and nature enthusiast, with its magnificent volcanoes, lush forests, wild rivers and incredible biodiversity.

Sandwiched neatly between Panama and Nicaragua and bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west, we explore the best sights of this tiny mountainous country and what better way to explore than by bike?

After arrival into the capital city of San José, we head to the area of the iconic Arenal Volcano, where our riding begins. Following the chain of volcanoes in the country’s north, our biking journey take us through the foothills of the Tenorio, Miravalles and Rincón de la Vieja Volcanoes, before our transition from this tropical area.

For our final four days of biking we head to the coast to enjoy some wonderful coastal trails from Samara to Malpais.

The riding on the trip is suited to those of a reasonable fitness. There are some challenging sections along the way, including some rough gravel roads, but these are never too daunting for riders with a little off-road cycling experience. With so much to see, we make sure you have plenty of opportunities along the way to absorb this unique destination.
