The Costa Rican Nicoya Peninsula is one of the world's five "Blue Zones," an area where locals live noticeably longer and healthier lives.
We will ride approximately 15 km, exploring the coastline and hills near the town Montezuma by bicycle, one of the greenest and most invigorating ways to travel! The route is mostly on rocky and gravel roads, with a few singletracks and rock croppings.
Also, the ride will be lead by a former professional mountain biker (2 time world champion) and long time local resident, who can point out many sights and animals that many tourists miss.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We meet at the sand volleyball court, next to the free Montezuma Parking Lot, on the oceanside, across road from the soccer field.

We will meet in Montezuma's adorable "downtown" for bike fitting & safety check. We provide the mountain bikes and helmets (we carry the tools). Then we'll gently roll out together on our awesome signature route. It's relatively flat, follows the coastline, but we will pull out at a few of our "secret spots". Experienced guide and longtime cyclist Marla will be leading the ride. If desired, she can stop occasionally to point out interesting stuff, offer riding tips (if you like) and otherwise customize your experience to make it memorable. Of course, the group always stays together! As we head back to Montezuma, we can grab a couple cool pictures... and maybe even grab a cold one together to cap off a great ride! You will get to see a special slice of Costa Rica's finest: beautiful rugged beaches, hidden world class surf breaks, ancient tropical trees, and secret waterfalls.

Cabuya Island is one of those magical spots that most people see from the road, but few people manage to approach. It’s a place of legend, rumor, and excitement, supposedly haunted by ghosts at night, due to the fact that it’s been a cemetery for as long as anyone can remember. Also, it happens to have some of the best snorkeling around, and you can even see much of the wildlife (like Pufferfish, etc) without a snorkel. If it is low tide during our tour, we can actually ride our bikes onto the island!

Near Playa Cedros (which we will see on our journey) is the stunning Playa Las Rocas. This beach has two sandy beaches and a fresh water river-mouth with a rope-swing. Playa las Rocas has a “whale’s tail” rock formation, and it’s a lot of fun to scamper around and take photos on these colorful rocks. In front of the rocks is one of the best snorkeling areas, popular among spear-fishermen and lobster-catchers. Many Tico families come here and park under the coconut trees, and some often catch the family’s lunch or dinner.
