Costa Rica Cycling & Multi-Adventure Tour
This year’s cycling and multi-adventure journey through Costa Rica moves through some of the most vibrant and biologically rich landscapes on Earth. Our road cycling routes follow secluded coastal roads and off-the-beaten-path terrain across the Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s celebrated Blue Zones, where daily movement, purpose, and community shape a slower, more mindful way of life.
From the coast, the journey continues inland to the lush rainforests surrounding Arenal Volcano, where misty trails, hanging bridges, and abundant wildlife define the landscape. Evenings are designed for rest and renewal—staying in charming bungalows, unwinding after the day’s adventure, and gathering for fresh, farm-to-table dinners that celebrate Costa Rica’s flavors and vitality. This is an immersive experience that blends movement, nature, and culture into one unforgettable trip.
