We are here to help, please ask or request any question as need it.
BIKE & EQUIPMENT.
We suggest approximately $20 USD/day for extras.
A current all-mountain bike with hydraulic disk brakes is the ultimate bike for our rides. Protective pads and eye protection is highly recommended. All participants are required to bring extra brake pads, tubes, patch kit, extra cleats for shoes and any other parts specific to your ride (derailleur hangers, fork and shock parts etc). All participants are required to have their bikes in excellent working order before the trip begins
This requirement is excluded if you will choice to use our bikes for rent.
LODGING.
We’ll be staying in very comfortable resorts and lodges. We feature lodging that will expose you to the famous Costa Rican lifestyle. Local foods and culture will be celebrated as part of your experience. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to practice your Spanish.
CLIMATE.
The dry season (summer) is from late-November to April when it’s hot on the coast but perfect riding weather in the mountains. Costa Rica has one of the most diverse climates in the world and being on the tropics means that sometimes a storm can show up for a few hours. We recommend bringing a variety of clothing – for cool high mountain weather and hot sunny days too.
YOUR SAFETY.
Our trips take place in remote regions with limited evacuation options available and there are always risks and hazards on the trails that we ride. If you choose to participate in our trips, it is up to you to ride well within your limits, to ride conservatively and to be safe as mountain biking is a dangerous sport. Participants must keep their bikes in good working condition, they must be hydrated and rested and alcohol and drugs are not permitted while riding. Our guides have basic first aid training and if a serious injury is suspected they will call helicopter search and rescue at the cost of the participant. Personal medical travel insurance is mandatory.
