The Journey
Costa Rica
A 15-day costa rica motorcycle tours route from the Pacific coast to the Caribbean.
Your costa rica motorcycle tours adventure begins with pickup at San Jose airport, or another point by arrangement, and transfer to our accommodation in Orotina, where you can prep your gear and bags before the ride.
After breakfast we continue to Limonal de Orotina for a full briefing, group introductions and your motorcycle rental costa rica handover - a Yamaha XT600E or XT660R. Once everyone is set, we ride an easy first stage and overnight near Quepos on the Pacific beach.
An early 5:30am sunrise walk on the beach sets up the climb to Cerro de la Muerte, the highest motorcycle point in Costa Rica at 3,454 meters. Pack a warm jacket, it gets noticeably cooler up here. Overnight in the mountains of Quetzal National Park.
Early birdwatching for the quetzal precedes breakfast, then a coffee tour in San Marco and a ride past the Irazu and Turrialba volcanoes. This costa rica guided tour stage ends at Casa Tucan & Camping.
After breakfast we head toward the Caribbean on longer stages, picking up real highway feel on the Panamericana before swapping back to winding roads and a first taste of Jamaican-influenced Caribbean culture.
Breakfast by the sea comes first, then a guided visit to the Jaguar Rescue Center, a local lunch, and an afternoon kayaking the rivers of the region. The evening is free.
A longer ride from Puerto Viejo de Limon to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui crosses rainforest, rivers and some of the trip's most striking scenery.
We continue to Arenal Lake and Arenal Volcano in La Fortuna, visiting the Mariposario or Frogs Heaven depending on weather, and finish with an evening cacao tour. This la fortuna tour stop has a great volcano view from the lodge.
