Our cycling then starts right from the hotel, riding towards the town of Atenas, where we meet our bus and transfer (one hour) to Guacalillo. Here, we embark on a beautiful boat tour through mangrove forests to the Rio Tárcoles, hoping to see crocodiles, waterbirds and even scarlet macaws as we go.

After, we continue by bus (40 minutes) to Palmar Sur, where we see the 2,000-year-old Diquís spheres. The purpose of these bolas de piedra (stone balls) remains a mystery, which our expert guide will explain during our visit. We also visit the former train station for banana transportation to the port of Golfito. There’s time for lunch, before we continue by bus via Chacarita, crossing the northern shores of the Golfo Dulce. From Los Mogos, we cycle on the Osa Peninsula, described by National Geographic as ‘the most biologically intense place on earth’. We reach our next hotel in Puerto Jimenez by bike.

We load up the bikes at San Isidro and cross the Cerro de la Muerte to Paraíso by bus. At 11,617ft (3,541m) above sea level, this is the highest point on the PanAm Highway in Central America. Here, we get back on our bikes and cross coffee plantations to the village of Orosi, which is one of the oldest communities in the country. From here, we continue to the Cachi reservoir, near our accommodation. Terrain: 100% paved Accommodation: Hotel Alma de Luna (or similar)
Day 9: Cycle past coffee plantations to Turrialba
Leave the hotel for one of the most beautiful cycling routes on this trip, past numerous coffee plantations. With any luck, we will see farmers using their traditional oxcarts to haul their crop to nearby processing facilities. Along the way, we stop at coffee trees to learn more about coffee and its role in Costa Rican history. Continuing through the valley, we ride around a hydroelectric dam before starting a section that involves some climbs. We then arrive at the little town of Tucurrique, where we have time for lunch. After, we cycle through sugarcane plantations to La Amistad, before a short transfer to our hotel. Our mountain lodge has excellent views, including over the coffee-growing region in the Orosi Valley and the Irazu and Turrialba volcanoes.

Day 10: Boat trip through canals to Tortuguero
Start the day early with a transfer (1hr 30min) to Guápiles, where we enjoy a delicious breakfast.

After, we board a boat that takes us through the impressive canals of Tortuguero towards our jungle lodge. Enjoy a delicious lunch, then visit Tortuguero village and walk along the Caribbean beach. Between July and September, you may join an optional beach excursion after dinner to watch the sea turtles lay their eggs. An unforgettable experience! Accommodation: Pachira Lodge (or similar)
Day 11: Explore Tortuguero National Park on two boat trips

Following a short transfer, our final cycling stage starts with a pleasant ride through the dense rainforest surrounding Lake Arenal, starting from El Castillo, with several spots to observe Arenal volcano. Arriving at the conservation area of Arenal 1968, we take the opportunity to hike through hardened lava. After, we get back on our bikes and continue riding to Nuevo Arenal. Our end point is a German bakery, where we enjoy lunch, before transferring (about 2hr 30min) to the Central Valley. Terrain: 100% paved Accommodation: Hotel La Rosa de América (or similar)

Viktig Informasjon

The trip destination

Accommodation: 13 Classic nights (9 hotel, 4 lodge)
10 days of cycling
Group normally 4 to 15, plus leader. Minimum age: 16

Food

Expect plenty of gallo pinto, a Costa Rican speciality, and lots of rice, beans, fruit and grilled meats. Fish lovers will be well satisfied with a variety of fresh fish from both Pacific and Caribbean waters. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are limited but food is plentiful and tasty – please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests. Please note, we do not recommend that you drink the tap water.

Weather

Costa Rica is 10 degrees north of the equator and has a tropical climate. The average annual temperature is around 26C (79F) in the lowlands and 10C (50F) in the highest mountain regions. However, it’s essential you prepare for the time of year in which your departure takes place.

Dry season (December to April): This is the driest period of the year and can get incredibly hot; on the Pacific side, temperatures may exceed 37C (98F). If passing through areas of dry tropical forest it can be hot, dusty and dry. Prepare for some rain even during this time of year.

We aim to leave the hotel as early as possible to avoid the strongest heat of the day. In many cases, we leave by 8am; by 10am, temperatures can be hot. Your tour leader is well-equipped to deal with this, making sure everyone is safely protected and well hydrated. In cases of extreme heat, they may alter the cycling route to ensure everyone’s safety.

Rainy season (May to November): Expect daily downpours, although these are usually quite short and there is still plenty of sunshine. Typically, there are sunny conditions until approximately 1pm-2pm and then a build-up of cloud from around 3pm, resulting in late afternoon rain (most likely showers between 3pm-5pm). Usually, the sky clears by 6pm.

Our cycling tours are scheduled to make the best of the weather and we aim to get going early so we have arrived at our overnight hotel before any rain. In our experience, June, July and August are the most pleasant times to travel to Costa Rica – following rainfall, the vegetation will be at its most lush and temperatures are more pleasant than at other times of the year.

Is this trip for you?

This trip is classified Activity Level 3 (Moderate). For more information on our trip gradings, visit our Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip, please contact us.

Average daily distance: 19mi (31km)

Number of cycling days: 10

Vehicle support: 75%

Terrain and route: 94% paved/6% gravel

Total distance: 191mi (307km)

Routes and terrain: Though many of the roads are good, expect some potholes and poor road conditions in places. Routes follow quiet backroads wherever possible. On some sections on the Pacific coast only one road is available, so you should expect traffic as we head south.

Swimming: There are plenty of swimming opportunities on this adventure. However, the sea has very strong rip currents in Tortuguero and is not suitable for swimming from the beach. At Cahuita, heed the warning flags.
