On this Family Trip, our routes are designed to be easygoing, with no significant gain or loss in elevation. However, rough terrain can make biking in Costa Rica more challenging. Although these road conditions slow down your riding, it's also what makes biking in Costa Rica an adventure! Liberal van shuttling is incorporated into the itinerary to facilitate our activities and mileage is kept moderate to enable you to spend more time exploring on your own.
