Ultimate Tropical Getaway

Upon arrival to Costa Rica, gather your luggage, make your way through customs and exit the Liberia Airport (LIR). Our crew will be waiting for you as you exit the airport. 

We will provide an airport shuttle pick up at 3:00pm, to provide transport to our hotel. For those arriving a night early, the shuttle will also stop by the Hilton Garden Inn (across from the airport) for an additional pick up option. Please notify us in advance if you need this pick-up option.

We’ll head into the mountains of Guanacaste to a local eco-lodge, settle in, and get ready for the week. Our group will meet at 5:00pm for happy hour to build bikes and have a cold beverage. Come hang and get to know the fab crew you’ll be riding with in Costa Rica. Bike rentals will be issued at this time as well for those who have made rental arrangements.

Once our bikes are built, we'll head to dinner and get fueled up for our first day of riding in the rainforest. 

Start your first morning with an epic buffet breakfast filled with locally grown organic fruits and veggies and made-to-order omelets. Don’t forget to try the gallo pinto, a traditional breakfast dish of rice and beans. It goes great with eggs!

We start today with a mellow ride (estimated 1-hour climb) to provide everyone the chance to acclimate to the tropical climate. Bring lots of water and electrolyte replacements as you’ll definitely break a sweat in the rainforest!  

We'll swim at the base of a gorgeous waterfall, enjoy a fun flowy downhill back to the hotel then head to the restaurant for lunch. The afternoon will be spent on an exciting zipline adventure through the canopy of the rainforest and through a deep canyon. 

We’ll start today with an early breakfast and then gear up for a big point-to-point ride. This ride is full of flowy singletrack with a couple technical climbs and descents.

Today’s ride is followed by a picnic lunch, a quick dip in the river, and then we’ll load up and travel to the next hotel. And just an FYI, this next hotel is one of our favorites! A natural hot springs lodge with a full-service spa, locally sourced restaurant and surrounded by Costa Rican forest and excellent mountain bike trails.

Upon arrival, enjoy a happy hour cocktail (or mocktail) at the swim up bar in the hotel’s natural hot springs pool.

Today's morning adventure is a half-day ride out the back door of the hotel. This region is a rainforest eco-system with volcanic rock features, which provide interesting trail sections to session and play on. We’ll session some cool areas and play with our climbing and descending on technical volcanic rock.

Join the group for a poolside lunch and then spend the remainder of the afternoon as you like. Go tubing down the nearby river canyon, soak in the natural pools of a mineral springs river or relax and unwind with an organic spa treatment.

Today is all about experiencing this beautiful place and all it has to offer. You may never want to leave!  

Awake to the sounds of the jungle today. Birds singing in the trees and Howler Monkeys calling is a classic start to the morning at this eco resort. There will be an optional yoga class offered before breakfast and then you can spend the rest of your morning as you wish. Relax by the pool, get a massage or just relax in the hammock of your rainforest bungalow.

In the late morning, we’ll pack up our shuttle van and head to the ocean! As we reach the coast, we'll grab our bikes and head out for an evening ride, just before dusk. We'll spin our legs on a quick shred then head to the ocean for cold beers on the beach and dive into the refreshing waters of the Pacific to cool off.

As the sun sets over the coastline, we’ll take some pictures, let it all sink in and then head to our hotel to get settled. Tonight, enjoy a delicious group dinner at the hotel.

Today we’ll awake early for breakfast at our hotel and then pack up and head to the Las Catalinas trail system. We’ll spend the morning riding super flowy singletrack with incredible views of the coastline below. Our ride will end with a refreshing dip in the ocean and time to relax on the beach.

The afternoon is for you to spend as you wish. There are stand up paddle boards and kayaks available for rent, for those interested, and this small bay is the perfect spot for it. It is also a great spot for swimming or just relaxing by the sea with a cold beverage.

In the late afternoon, we will provide an optional evening ride for anyone looking for more pedal time. Top off this fabulous day with a spectacular dinner overlooking the beach.

We’ll wake up early again today to get on the trails and maximize our time in this excellent beach location. We’ll go on a big ride that combines big climbs and fun descents and all fun singletrack. There will be long flowy forested sections and epic views of the ocean. Our guides will even offer the chance to add on a segment to a secluded beach for a midride cool off session in the ocean.

We’ll take a lot of snacks with us today as we’ll be out riding for 4-5 hours. We’ll return in the afternoon for lunch and some downtime on the beach.

Once we’re relaxed and refreshed, we’ll head back to the hotel to freshen up and head into town for a final dinner, beachside.

Tonight, we’ll celebrate the week’s adventure, new friends, and lifetime memories.

We have reached the last day of our amazing trip in Costa Rica and it's time to say goodbye. There will be time for a quick breakfast and then we’ll pack up for our group shuttle to return to the Liberia International Airport.

Our team will have the group at the airport for a 12:00pm check in. Most departures return to the US and Canada in the afternoon, so this shuttle time generally accommodates most groups. If you need a different shuttle time, just let our team know and we can make the appropriate arrangements. Note: Shuttles outside of the scheduled time are available at an extra charge.
