The engine kicks, gravel spits outward and a coastal breeze cuts across your face as the convoy peels away from Nuevo Colón.

The engine kicks, gravel spits outward and a coastal breeze cuts across your face as the convoy peels away from Nuevo Colón. Trails thread through dry forest and scrub, dip into shallow rivers that dare you to choose speed or caution, and climb hillocks that cough up unexpected views of Matapalo Beach and the Pacific beyond.
This corner of Guanacaste carries a working-land history — cattle trails and small farming communities shaped the routes you now race. Beneath the dust lie volcanic soils and ancient lava flows that produced the low ridgelines and sandy riverbeds you cross; the region’s dry tropical forest is resilient, shedding leaves in the long dry season and exploding green after rains. Local culture is straightforward: small ranch houses, farmers waved at as you pass, and fishing villages where the day’s catch is still being sorted.
Expect an adrenaline-forward 2–3 hour loop: river fords, hill climbs, short technical sections and open stretches for speed. Guides outfit riders with helmets and goggles and brief you on throttle control, braking, and passing procedure. Moderate fitness and basic coordination suffice; the vehicles are forgiving but situational awareness matters—ruts, other ATVs, and wildlife can appear suddenly.
Practical notes: wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and bring a small daypack with water and a phone in a waterproof pouch. Tours commonly include pickup from Playas del Coco and allow cancellations 24 hours in advance. Plan for mud if rains precede your day and for bright sun if dry—both add to the ride’s character.
Yes—guides supply helmets and goggles as part of equipment; you should still bring sun protection and secure shoes.
It’s moderately demanding: you’ll handle ATVs/buggies for 2–3 hours with some standing on foot pegs and short climbs—basic fitness and coordination are enough.
Age restrictions vary by operator—bookings ask for age bands; younger passengers may be required to ride as passengers rather than drive.
Full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the departure; tours may be canceled for bad weather.
