Six days will be enough to sample the best of the Costa Rica Northern region. These types of tours are on paved roads must of the time but that doesn’t mean you won’t be in touch with the natural wonders of the country, as you will also ride on gravel roads and pass through small creeks. The beauty of this type of tours is that you will cover a lot of ground in less time, and that will give you the opportunity to discover more destinations!
You will be accommodated at various places along the route.
You will be transferred from the airport to the hotel. Pick up will be at 8 a.m. There will be a welcoming session and briefing.
Your journey will begin in Santa Ana, San Jose where you will pick up the bike and head towards one of the most popular active volcanoes in Costa Rica, the “Volcán Poás”. You will embark on a trip filled with amazing views of coffee and strawberry plantations as you approach the exuberant cloud forest that surrounds this magnificent national park.
Then, you will continue to your next stop at “La Paz Waterfall”. The River La Paz forms the waterfall after traversing eight kilometers (five miles) of volcanic terrain, and then continues through the rainforest of the eastern side of Poás Volcano (total height 37 meters)
After a few pictures, you will hit the road again until you get to your next stop named “Hidden Treasure”. It’s a blue colored river located at Bajos del Toro. To visit this waterfall, there is a walking distance of three kilometers, but it is totally worth it.
To finish the first day, you will visit another popular destination: “Volcan Arenal”. The volcano is located at the center of Arenal Volcano National Park in the northern zone of the country, 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) southwest of the La Fortuna district in San Carlos canton, Costa Rica. Here, you will chill out on one of the many hot springs pools with a delicious cocktail (all meals and hot springs entrance fees are included on this day).
You will start the day riding around the Arenal Volcano and the lagoon, until you get to another volcano named “Volcan Tenorio”. Here is where you will visit “Rio Celeste”; a blue river tinted by the veins of the Tenorio volcano. There is a walking distance of 2.5 kilometers in the middle of the tropical forest where you will be able to see the dyers “los tenideros” (in Spanish).
Depending on the season of the year, you will be able to visit “El Cañon de Liberia”; a technical and very entertaining loop. It is very interesting how the vegetation turn out to be like a desert.
You will continue through Liberia looking for the challenging and very popular off-road shortcut that will take you to your last destination of the day: Playa Potrero. “The Monkey Trail” is a shortcut between Playas del Coco and Flamingo. This curvy mountain pass is famous for eating cars. Its narrow, plunging corridors snake through river crossings and shouldn’t be attempted in the rainy season, or with anything less than four-wheel drive. But those who dare to brave the Monkey Trail are in for one of Costa Rica’s most extreme thrills.
The trail – and it really does feel more like a hiking trail than a road – takes you on a bumpy ride down rock faces, through jungles, and across streams toward the Pacific coastline. Eventually the trail spits you out in the idyllic beach town of Playa Potrero. Its dark sand cove and bathtub-warm seawater provide the perfect setting to relish the adrenaline rush (all meals and afternoon cocktail except dinner are included on this day).
Most of the day, you will be riding on the pacific coastline. There are three rivers that you will need to cross; the last one named “Río Bongo” is the biggest one which is not recommended in the rainy season.
You will finalize the day with an amazing riding trip on the beach from Playa Santa Teresa to Playa Montezuma, the place where you will sleep. Montezuma is a quiet village on the Pacific Coast where life tends to slow down to the perfect pace for relaxation. The warm Pacific waters are very inviting for a swim or snorkel but just cool enough to keep your core temperature perfect after soaking up the blistering sun.
The chill town is surrounded by lush green hills and rivers for the adventurer to seek out the best waterfalls and pools for a refreshing swim. The Capuchin monkeys are a sight to see, this is an animal lover’s utopia with an array of wildlife (all meals and afternoon cocktail except dinner are included on this day).
The Paquera Ferry will take you to Puntarenas, crossing Nicoya Gulf for around 1.5 hours. From there, you will head back to San Jose to finalize the tour.
If you are able to catch the ferry that departs at 9 a.m., then you will finalize your off-road journey crossing part of a popular off-road trail named “El Paso del Quetzal” which is gravel in the middle of the jungle with a couple of rivers to cross. This trail will take you to Piedades Sur of San Ramon where you will hit the Interamericana road that you will take back to San Jose.
Otherwise, you will take part of the morning to relax at the beach, then you will take the ferry that will take you to Puntarenas where you will stop by for lunch and then return to San Jose (all meals and except dinner are included on this day, ferry fee also not included).
You will be transferred from the hotel to the airport.
Your package will include daily breakfast and lunch.
