The engine thumps to life and the rainforest exhales around you — humidity lifting in curtains as the trail climbs toward the Agujitas ridgeline. In two hours riders cover roughly 20 kilometres of dirt track, short climbs and rolling singletrack that alternate between shaded rainforest corridors and sudden openings where the Pacific unfurls below, the Nicoya Peninsula a distant spine on the horizon.

The engine thumps to life and the rainforest exhales around you — humidity lifting in curtains as the trail climbs toward the Agujitas ridgeline. In two hours riders cover roughly 20 kilometres of dirt track, short climbs and rolling singletrack that alternate between shaded rainforest corridors and sudden openings where the Pacific unfurls below, the Nicoya Peninsula a distant spine on the horizon.
This route runs on volcanic soils laid down by Costa Rica’s restless geology; trails cut through secondary rainforest that recovered from past land use, and small streams carve quick gullies that can feel eager after rain. Jaco’s culture is equal parts surf town and rural mountain community — guides are bilingual locals who read the weather and the terrain, and they’ll point out uses for common plants and the area’s modest farming history as you ride.
Expect short bursts of technical riding over roots and rocks, a few steeper pitches toward viewpoints around 600m (about 2,000 ft), and a brief stop at a small roadside waterfall when conditions permit. The tour prioritizes accessibility — minimum age and license requirements apply, and guides adapt routes to rider ability and trail conditions.
Practical essentials: wear closed-toe shoes and sun protection, bring water and a small dry bag for valuables, and arrive with a valid driver’s license if you plan to pilot an ATV. Rental holds are required on credit cards; have the requested cards ready. Aim for morning departures to avoid the late afternoon rains and to get clearer ocean views.
Yes — drivers must be 16+ with a valid driver’s license; unlicensed participants and young children must ride as passengers.
The tour is designed for a broad range of fitness; it requires basic ability to maneuver an ATV and tolerate tropical heat for two hours.
Tours operate in most weather but routes may be adjusted for safety; heavy rain can lead to cancellations or altered stops like waterfall access.
No — food and drinks are not included; bring water and snacks or plan to purchase refreshments in Jaco before/after the ride.
