Die Costa Rica Motorradreisen von Orotina zur Karibik bieten eine klare Struktur und durchdachte Betreuung. Der deutschsprachige Tourguide stellte sicher, dass wir während der gesamten 15 Tage stets präzise Einweisungen erhielten, sei es bei den täglichen Briefings oder den Routenbeschreibungen. Die Gruppengröße von maximal 14 Teilnehmern ermöglichte eine individuelle Betreuung und eine angenehme Dynamik innerhalb der Gruppe. Durch den abwechslungsreichen Kurs, der uns von der Pazifikküste zu den Vulkangebieten wie dem Irazu und Turrialba führte, erlebten wir eine umfassende Sicht auf die vielfältige Natur Costa Ricas.
