Tour Recommended for:
This tour is designed to give the rider a taste of the Nicoyan Peninsula and then concentrate on the Jaco/Manual Antonio areas. The first day is very long but the others are not and afford everyone to enjoy Costa Rica without the pressures and time constraints of getting from location to location, yet still getting to see some of the real hot spots of Costa Rica.

Tour Description

Arrival day:
Settle in your room and get ready for day 1. If you arrive early and a bike is available, maybe take a local ride.
Day 1:
7:00 AM Wake up and have a great breakfast. Notice it's not cold. Listen to the birds. You're in Costa Rica my friend. Everything's a bit different. General first day running around, strap pack to the bike and be ready to ride by 8:00 AM.... Really, 8:00 AM. This is a longish day best done by intermediate to good riders. There will be plenty of dirt and almost completely new terrain for you Costa Rican regulars. We'll see the ocean off and on all day as we follow ridge lines and eventually drop down right next to the Golf of Nicoya. We hug the coast to Puente Amistad (big friendly bridge) and cross to the Nicoya Peninsula. As soon as we get to the other side, back to dirt all the way to Samara. You'll be ready for beer and air conditioning. The beach is across the street.
Samara is a laid back surfer town (you'll be hearing this a lot) that has a few great restaurants and a sort of Bohemian atmosphere. The beach is quiet and restful. It's possible to find a bar to play pool and be part of the scene if you like. There are lots of choices in a little town.
Day 2:
Wake at 8:00 or 8:30 so you can get breakfast before it closes at 9 am. This is an easy day as we follow the coast to Santa Teresa, another laid back surfer pueblo. We'll stay on the beach and swim in the bar/pool and generally talk racer trash till it's time for bed. This is one of the most relaxing stays of the tour.
Day 3:
7:30 AM Have a great breakfast and get mounted. We'll ride over to Cabo Blanco National Park (all fun dirt) and putt along the edge of the ocean to the town of Montezuma. Maybe do a loop through town and head up to Cobano and ride fun pavement and dirt to the ferry. We'll cross to Puntarenas and then ride some unavoidable highway to pay our respects to the crocks lurking under the Tarcoles bridge. We'll have lunch on the way. After gas and crocks, we turn off the pavement and up into the hills again. This is a really great slalom kind of ride with peeks of the ocean along the way. Eventually we'll come out just below Jaco, our destination, and slide into town for two days of R&R. There are optional loops we can do on our free day if you didn't hurt yourself too bad the night before. Lots of shopping, surfing and night life.
Day 4:
Second day at Jaco. Rest, swim, surf, fish or go for a ride in the local hills.
Day 5:
We'll ride to Manual Antonio using new loops and trails whenever possible. As I write this, we are exploring new dirt just outside Quepos, too. We have a new place to stay in Manual Antonio now. It's on the beach and an easy walk to the National Park and shopping. There's a great bar right on the beach where the hotel is.
Day 6:
Breakfast on the beach, on the bikes by 8:30 AM. This is probably one of the best days. Riding highinto the mountains where the best coffee is grow. We will pass over many high mountain peaks with sweeping views. This is an area rarely seen by tourists and offers stunning terrain. Arrve in Atenas happy and tired and ready for a beverage by the pool. What better way to end a Moto Tours Costa Rica tour?
Day 7:
Unfortunately this is the day to head home. What better time to start planning your next trip to Costa rica?
