Costa Rica ADVENTURE 3 – 14.12.2023
MOTORCYCLE:
Honda CRF250L or Kawasaki KLR 650. Motorcycle rental is included in the tour price.
Upon request and additional fee of 25 EUR per day we can arrange Honda CRF 300 Rally (limited number available).
TOUR DESCRIPTION:
Costa Rica means “rich coast” and is also called the Switzerland of Central America. It is a country for people who love nature and adrenaline. Breathtaking Pacific Ocean coast and amazing Caribbean Sea coast, together with magnificent mountain range located between them crate perfect combination for motorcycle trips. Winding asphalt and gravel mountain trails amidst wild nature is a paradise for motorcyclists. But this is not! Discovering the coast of each ocean is equally fascinating because each of them has a different character.
In Costa Rica we will find volcanoes, misty forest, mountains, waterfalls, rivers… There is no time for boredom! We will combine motorbike riding with great rafting, swimming in emerald waterfalls, zipline rides, horse riding and snorkeling. After each day of riding, we will rest in the cozy and comfortable boutique hotels. Is it possible to dream of a more beautiful motorcycle holiday, especially during the rainy autumn in Europe? With us you can get to know this country really “inside out”! We will lead you through off the beaten track places. Join us for an adventure of the lifetime!

Wearing adequate riding gear is an individual responsibility. We strongly recommend “adventure”. Bring your own gear.
LUGGAGE:
We will be riding light. The luggage will be traveling in the support car. It should be dust & water proof. For riding days take with you a small backpack or waterproof bag, with straps, to enable you to attach it to your motorbike.
IMPORTANT, REMEMBER:
Costa Rica a is a very friendly country with hospitable people. A lot of local places accept not only local currency, but also USD. ATMs are available in bigger towns or touristic places.. For this ride, we recommend considering “adventure” type boots. There might be short rains: a waterproof layer could be helpful.
