Costa Rica cycling vacations

A cycling vacation in Costa Rica offers the best of both worlds. The roads are in good condition for riding on, there is a well established network of ecolodges and guesthouses, plus opportunities to spending an afternoon kayaking or hiking with a naturalist guide. But cycling means you can leave the more touristy spots far behind – pedalling along the back roads, pausing in forgotten pueblos, perusing roadside fruit stalls.

Joining a small group cycling vacation in Costa Rica gives you the independence of being on two wheels, with the reassurance of an expert team – from a support vehicle and regular stops to refuel and rehydrate, to someone to cheer you on when the heat and humidity kick in. Plus, they’ll keep an eye on your bike and are on hand should anything start to wobble – including you. This leaves you to keep your eyes off the bike and on the surrounding scenery, spying sloths wrapped around trees, and electric blue morpho butterflies bobbing along beside your bike.
