TRAILS

Our Costa Rica mountain biking tour provides everything that is great about crosscountry mountain biking – exhilarating downhills, some satisfying uphills (always with van support in case you get tired), lots of fun curves and undulating terrain, and breathtaking scenery that is constantly changing. It`s the ideal terrain for beginner and intermediate mountain bikers to develop their all-round riding skills alongside our expert Access Trips instructors. As with all our trips, we`ve carefully selected the route for our Costa Rica mountain biking tour so that we can maximize your downhill time and keep you off-road as much as possible. The result is an exciting tour that`s 90% off-road, 60% downhill, 25% single-track and is made up of a mixture of narrow forest trails, double-track farm roads, cow`s paths, small gravel roads and hard-packed sand trails. The terrain offers some long, exhilarating downhills through jungle, farmlands and coffee plantations and some undulating trails alongside spectacular lake and ocean scenery. Most of the uphills are reasonably short and you can opt out of those that aren`t by jumping in the van. We`ll ride an average of about 40 kms per day, so anyone with a reasonable level of fitness should be able to cope quite comfortably.

This is a trip for those who are interested in both awesome mountain biking and in experiencing a beautiful and exotic country. If your only passion is for extreme single trail descents, this may not be the trip for you. If, however, you love exhilarating downhill but you are also happy to take on the odd uphill and flat in order to experience breathtaking scenery and a lively culture, you should find our Costa Rica mountain biking trip to be everything you hoped for and more.
